Bark in the Park returns Saturday, Oct. 31, to help support the Tullahoma Animal Shelter, but this time it will take place on the grounds at South Jackson Performing Arts Center.

This year’s Bark in the Park will feature over 30 vendors and food trucks, various events for the families and dogs ready to find their forever home. The event will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is free to the public.

The event will feature the following: kid games with prizes, pumpkins for kids (pumpkins will be limited), corn hole, a costume contest for kids and dogs, a trunk or treat at 12:30 p.m., the Mr. and Mrs. Tullahoma Canine Contest, the Well-Loved Mixed Breed Dog Show and the PureBred Dog Show.

The cost of admission for the dog shows and contests are one dollar per group, and the money will be used for the shelter’s Amazon List.

According to Tullahoma Animal Shelter Manager Cheryl Rhoads, the Tullahoma Animal Shelter is currently in need of canned food, pill pockets, slip leads, quilts/comforters for the winter, Dasuquin, soup bones, and “adopt me” vests.

Those wanting to help the animal shelter can contact the shelter 931-454-9580, or buy purchasing items of its Amazon Wishlist.
