Bone Hunt
Your dog will bark for bones when all kinds of dog treats, bones and toys are hidden for your furry friends. Goodies will be both hidden inside Easter eggs and spread across a field. Dogs must remain on leashes at all times. Before the hunting begins, each dog will receive a “doggie bag” to take home and to hold their yummy finds. We will also draw for door prizes. You must turn in proof of vaccinations when registering your pet. Vaccines may be emailed to fun@wentzvillemo.gov. Please be on time for this event because it doesn’t take long for the dogs to gather all the treats! Online registration is not available. To register, please call (636) 332-9236. (Min 20/Max 75) *Cost is $15/19 per dog in advance or $20 for day-of registration. BEGINS DEADLINE SA 12P APR 9 APR 8 RP 1 DAY $15/19*
