Starting at 1 pm at Diamond Point Park in Bemidji
You can bring your dog, or sign-up to walk a shelter dog. By participating you will be supporting the missions of two great organizations, the Beltrami Humane Society and the American Cancer Society. All proceeds raised will go to both Beltrami Humane Society and the American Cancer Society.This year’s event will feature a cancer survivor’s story, a K9 presentation by the Sheriff’s Department, a pet photo contest, multiple pet related vendors, hot dogs and chips, and of course, a beautiful walk alongside Lake Bemidji.
The cost to register is just $25. With your registration you will get a free gift bag with lots of pet related coupons and other items. We also encourage you to raise pledges from family members and friends. Let others know that you believe saving companion animals is important and give them a chance to support you. Plus, the top pledge collectors will win great prizes.
