Day of the Dog: Run Walk or Jog 5K & 10K

Did you know that August 26 is National Dog Day? To commemorate that event, Moon Joggers is sponsoring an open run, walk or jog event that participants can do in their own time. You and Fido can participate anytime, on any course before the end of this year; you simply report your finishing time to Mood Joggers. Your registration fee of $12.00 includes your racing bib, your medal and a dog tag. A portion of your registration fee will also go to Freedom Service Dogs of America. They provide custom-trained companion animals to those suffering from any form of disability. Let's lace up our shoes, grab Fido's leash and do some good for a GREAT cause!

Santa Paws n the Park

Its picture day Fido - and did I mention the picture is with Santa Paws himself? Grab your paw-rent and head on down to Maytag Park in nearby Newton, Iowa to get your photo with Santa! Your humans can enjoy some buttery popcorn, delicious cookies and perfect apple cider. Don't worry - there will be doggy treats for you and all your furry friends, too, Fido. Your $10.00 donation will get you a 5x7 print of your time with Santa Paws and your family can even join you for the photo. All proceeds go to Paws 'n A Blanket. They distribute warm blankets, toys and consumable items to shelters and homeless pets throughout the country.

Holiday DeLight Parade

Close your eyes. Imagine a City Square festively decorated with millions of multi-colored lights and tinsel, the sounds of Christmas carols filling the air, along with the scent of freshly prepared hot cocoa. Now, open your eyes, grab your keys and your whole family, including your leashed little furry friend, and check out the Holiday DeLight Parade in Downtown Cedar Rapids, Iowa! (All pet owners must clean up after their doggies). Downtown will be magically transformed into the North Pole as the whole community impatiently waits for the annual holiday parade to begin at 5:30 p.m. Be sure to go down early to find a good parking spot, and bring your chairs to claim the perfect place to watch the festivities.
