Dog Park Outreach Event

GDNS has been maintaining the Gunflint Dog Park for our community since 2013. We know the park gets a ton of use by dogs but we don't know who our users are. Or maybe you don't use the space because it doesn't suit you or your dogs needs? Either way, we'd love to meet you! Stop by Voyageur Brewing Company on February 23rd to learn how you can help with the existing park and how to become involved in creating a new dog friendly space. We'll buy a beer or drink of choice for the first 30 folks who show up with a picture of their dog. Plus, we'll have free appetizers and an Ugly Dog Sweater Contest and a chance to win GDNS apparel. Hope to see you there!
