Pup-A-Palooza 2009 Lights Up The Community!

On June 6, the Alum Creek Dog Park will light up the community with Pup-A-Palooze, a family and pet event. Join Central Ohio dog lovers for the fun filled celebration that is Pup-A-Palooza! Rescue groups, animal focused businesses and not for profits, businesses that support the Alum Creek Dog Park, music, food, a great silent auction and best of all - a day of fun at the dog park!

About Pup-A-Palooza

2009 marks the third annual Pup-A-Palooza. In 2008, the event hosted over 3,500 visitors and their dogs from all over Central Ohio. Pup-A-Palooza proceeds benefit the Friends Of Alum Creek Dog Park, the all volunteer 501c3 charity that built, maintains and financially supports the park. Proceeds from this year's event will be used toward the fundraising goal of $20,000 to install lights for evening use of the dog park.

Admission to Pup-A-Palooza is absolutely free, but the Friends Of Alum Creek Dog Park request that you bring a donation of pet food for delivery to Meals On Wheels recipients. Help us help their pets!

The Friends Of Alum Creek Dog Park would like to extend a very special thank you to Mars Petcare USA for their donation of two pallets of pet treats, and to Two Men And A Truck for providing a truck for the food drive. Bring your donations and let's fill that truck!

About the Award Winning Alum Creek Dog Park

The Alum Creek Dog Park is 4-acre free public dog park at the Alum Creek State Park. It includes fully fenced areas for small & large dogs and a dog beach at the lake. All areas have shade trees and benches. Drinking water is provided seasonally.

In 2008 approximately 200,000 people visited this dog park. It has won 2 awards - a Superior Award from the Ohio Parks and Recreation Association and Dog Fancy Magazine voted it as having the best dog beach in a dog Park.

The Alum Creek Dog Park was built by the Friends of Alum Creek Dog Park, beginning in 2004 with a grand opening in June 2006. The Friends Group provided most of the funds to build the dog park and continues to provide financial support for routine care and improvements. The Friends Group also provides day-to-day maintenance of the park and special project help.

In 2009 the group plans on continuing to raise money for installing lights for evening use of the dog park. For more information about the dog park visit www.alumcreekdogpark.com.
