A
great time was had by all in spite of the heat!! The
Dogs were sure happy to
eat some Frosty Paws Doggie Ice Cream treats at the end
of the journey!
Due
to the success of the event it will be held in the downtown area
but Linda from Papa Ed's Ice Cream stated "I am gong
to ask another merchant if I can switch my month sponsorship to
see if I can move this event up to June"
