Dogs Take Over Outwater Park
Visitors from several states and Canada were at Outwater Park Saturday, May 27th for a Dog Show. For those who love dogs it was a great day to be at Outwater Park! Lots of photo opportunities and time to visit with dogs and their owners. For those who are taxed by dogs...it was a good day to stay away from Outwater Park despite the holiday weekend.
We Take Pictures
