We will be pushing our Sunday hound walk at Veterans Park back to 10 am due to the summer heat. The time change goes in effect this Sunday, July 2nd. As many of you know, the walks will be shorter and most likely include a dip in the creek. Bring plenty of water for you and your hound(s). Wear footwear you don't mind getting wet or bring an extra leash to give your hounds room to cool down in the water.
