6/22/14 - A fundraiser on Thursday will help with the operational costs of the new dog park planned for the City of Howell. The Howell Rotary Club will be holding the golfing fundraiser to raise money for the Countryside Veterinary Dog Park, which was known as the Howl and Bark Dog Park until the naming rights were sold. Dog park supporter and Rotarian Steve Manor says the dog park will help increase the sense of place for the Howell area while improving the health, quality of life, and social skills of dogs and their owners. To help support the park and its operation, the Howell Rotary is sponsoring a golf outing on Thursday at Chemung Hills Golf Course. Tickets cost $65 per golfer, and in addition to golfing participants will have a chance to win a car with a hole-in-one and enter a $5,000 putting contest. All proceeds will go to benefit the park, construction on which should begin in the next couple of weeks. The public can expect the park to open in early July. Manor expects the facility to ne self-funding once it gets up and operational. Contact the Howell Rotary for more information on the fundraiser. (TD)
