Dog Days of Summer at College Hill
College Hill Pool, located at 304 S. Circle Drive, is inviting all dogs to try wading, paddling, swimming, or diving during their Dogs Days of Summer event from 5:30 – 8:00 p.m. on Monday, August 18, 2008. The event allows dogs to experience the joy of swimming in a pool without chlorine.
Admission is a minimum donation of $10 per dog (limit of two dogs per owner). A large portion of the proceeds benefits the Kansas Humane Society. Owners can wade only ankle-deep with their dogs in the shallow end of the zero-depth entry family swimming pool or let the dogs jump by themselves into the deep end. The first 200 dogs at the Dogs Days of Summer will receive a “Doggie Bag” filled with great goodies from Bed & Biscuit Pet Center. Dogs can also compete in the long jump contest, frisbee catch or largest and smallest dog contests. All dogs must be leashed when not in the pool or participating in contests and current on all vaccinations including rabies.
