The Bangor Dog Park is celebrating its first year in existence with a party! The "Bangor Dog Days of Summer Festival" will be held at the park on Sunday, August 11th. Stop by to celebrate a year of doggy fun!

Our pup, Copernicus, loves the dog park, as you can witness for yourself in this video I took earlier this summer. When you see a small dog chasing a bigger dog across the park with his little legs pumping like crazy....that's Pernicus! I have to apologize to my grandpuppy's sister who I refer to in the video as Sophie. Her name is Sadie and she's a beautiful golden retriever!

The Bangor Dog Days of Summer Festival will be held at the dog park, 12 Watchmaker Street in Bangor on August 11th from 10am to 2pm. Organizers will be raising funds to complete Phase II of the dog park, as well!

Some of the fun activities include a tasty barbecue provided by Bugaboo Creek Steakhouse, the Darling's Ice Cream for a Cause truck, and a dog wash for your pooch provided by Mutt Nose Best! There will be vendors, games, raffles, prizes, activities, and lots of Dog Park SWAG!

Don't miss this fun event to celebrate a wonderful facility in Bangor...the Bangor Dog Park!
