Bark in the Park - Greater Media Hosts Annual Dog Day at FirstEnergy Park
Woof! Woof! Bark! Bark! Take your dog to a ballgame at FirstEnergy Park! All dog owners are welcome to bring their four-legged friends to a baseball game from 1:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m., Saturday, May 3, 2008, at FirstEnergy Park, 2 Stadium Way, Lakewood, N.J. WJRZ 100.1 FM and WRAT 95.9 FM, two Greater Media radio stations, are hosting “Bark at the Park,” a Lakewood BlueClaws’ tradition for the past four years.
Before the game begins, pets and pet owners can enjoy a variety of free activities. Rocky the Rat, the WRAT’s mascot, and Boomer the Dog, WJRZ’s mascot, will be on hand to greet children and take photos with them. Some events include Agility Training for dogs, a course of ramps, tunnels, weave poles, and jumps for dogs to try; a Frisbee demonstration featuring the Yankee Flyer Dog and Disc Club will show their amazing Frisbee skills; a pet costume contest; a pet talent show; and owner and pet look-a-like contest.
Watering stations are available. All animals must be on a leash and have up-to-date shots. Each radio station will be broadcasting live from FirstEnergy Park.
To enjoy the game with their furry friends, fans must purchase a $2.00 "BluePaws Pass" for each dog admitted plus a ticket to the game ($6.00 for general admission to the lawn area; $9.00 adults and $6.00 children and seniors for a special seating area). A Pet Parade is scheduled for 3:15 p.m. inside the Park.
The money raised from BluePaws Passes will help purchase food and medicine, and contribute to the upkeep of Jersey Shore Animal Center, a nonprofit animal shelter in Brick which takes in abandoned, unwanted, and abused animals; and works to provide them a new home through pet adoption.
For ticket information, game times, and up-to-date information, call 732-901-7000 Option 2 or visit www.blueclaws.com.
