The 8th Annual Wiggly Wag and Walk will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 16, at Wiggly Field Dog Park from 5-6:30 p.m. “This is a great event for you and your dog!,” said Debbie Leffelman, event coordinator. “Take your pooch on the Hound Hike for fun, exercise, and a chance to win a prize.” All dogs registered for the event will receive a goodie bag. The fee for the Hound Hike is $4 for residents of the Oregon Park District and $5 for others. The fee for each additional dog in a family is $3. “The hike starts at staggered times to allow for social distancing,” Leffelman said. “You do not have to have a Wiggly Field membership to partici-
pate in the fun.” The membership is only required for dogs entering the enclosed runs at the park. The deadline to register is Sept. 13. Register for a start time at www.oregonpark.org. Interested pet vendors should contact Debbie@oregonpark. org for more information. About Wiggly Field Wiggly Field Dog Park officially opened in July 2012 and is the first offleash dog park operated by the park district. The dog park is a 1 acre fenced offleash area with two separate entries for safety. The park is divided into two separate areas. The first being an open running design and the second is an agility training area. The park offers water fountains for people and dogs. Wiggly Field off-leash dog park is open seven days a week from dawn until dusk. We ask all owners to have fun, but be responsible. During regular hours of operation, all users and dogs must have a permit, available at the Nash Recreation Center in Oregon. Proof of rabies vaccination is also required when registering.
