There are many, many dog walk events around the Puget Sound region these days, but one of the "originals" and one of the best takes place in scenic Gig Harbor every September. HARBOR HOUNDS, returns September 26th for one day of fido-friendly family fun.
Dogs and devotees come from far and near to participate in this annual event, a benefit for the Prison Pet Partnership, Coalition Humane (formerly Peninsula Spay and Neuter Project) and the Gig Harbor Mid-Day Rotary Club.
Action begins at 10am on September 26th as hounds and humans stroll the two miles of picturesque Gig Harbor waterfront between Donkey Creek Park and Skansie Brothers Park, stopping along the way for water, pats and chats. The frisky festivities continue until 3pm with a mix of entertainment, contests, demonstrations, information, vendors and food.
Pooch loving participants can pick one of three ways to register for Harbor Hounds. The $30 Top Dog fee, limited to the first 100 pre-registered dogs, includes a 2009 Harbor Hounds t-shirt, and limited edition poster. The $24 Standard rate ($26 on event day) comes with a t-shirt, bandanna and goodie bag. For the "recession" minded, $10 rate ($12 on event day) provides the bandanna and goodie bag.
