Mark your calendars for Newtown’s 9th Annual Strut Your Mutt event on May 19 from 11am to 2pm with registration beginning at 10:30am. This dog-friendly event will include a 2K dog walk, the Strut Your Mutt Pageant, vendors, games and food.

Admission is $10 per dog; there is a limit of three dogs per handler. Proceeds raised will support the Newtown Park & Bark, the off-leash dog park located on Old Farm Road in Newtown. It is run by a volunteer group of Newtown resident dog lovers who joined forces in 2009. The town provided a parcel of land. Private donations and annual fundraising events have raised funds to create and maintain the two-acre field adjacent to the animal shelter.

Campus, Newtown.
