Calling all dogs…and dog owners.

Bluffton’s Relay for Hope plans a “Bark for Life” event at 9:30 a.m., Saturday, May 5, according to Lynda Best.

This is the first-event canine event in the Bluffton group’s Relay. Here’s how your dog, and you, can participate.

Registrations made before April 20 are $20 and those registrants received a t-shirt. After April 20, registration is $25.

“Participants will walk their dogs starting at Maple Crest. We will walk the bike path to the Mennonite Memorial Home for a water break,” said Best. “Residents there will have a chance to see the dogs.”

Following that, the participants will walk back to Maple Crest, where resident there can pet the pooches.

Best said that awards will be presented at Maple Crest. Persons wanting more information may contact Best at 419-296-2790 or email her at [email protected]
