Lots of happy dogs and their people companions were smiling as bright as the sun shining above for Walk ‘n Wag on Saturday, May 14th at the Hinckleys Pond – Herring River Headwaters Preserve. We had an idyllic spring day with brilliant blue skies, warm weather, and a light breeze for this exciting new event.

Thank you so much to all who joined this fun-filled celebration of dogs and nature hosted by Harwich Conservation Trust (HCT) and The Sampson Fund. Folks with their four-legged friends walked the trails, visited with exhibitors in the barn, listened to music by Tim Sweeney & the Fringe, and enjoyed lunch from The Pineapple Caper food truck as well as treats from the Lewis Brothers Solar Ice Cream Truck. Artist Donna Tavano provided fun canine impressions from her face painting tent.
