WHAT A BARKING GRAND DAY OUT, OUR FIRST GROUP DOG WALK!We've talked about a group dog walk before but now we have a date, location and guide! So put on your walking shoes and bring out your Shilohs for a walk around Blandy Experimental Farm in Virginia.
WHAT: Some ISSDC SE Regional members are getting together for a group walk at Blandy Experimental Farm. Laure Wallace will be leading us around a beautiful two mile walk around the park. Please remember to bring poop bags and water.
WHEN:
May 16 – 2pm 'til ?
WHERE:
Our May 16 walk will be a tour of Blandy Experimental Farm. Blandy Experimental Farm is a 700-acre field station run by the University of Virginia in the northern Shenandoah Valley about 10 miles east of Winchester and 60 miles west of Washington DC.
Our walk will be approximately two miles. This is a living museum and although leashed dogs are welcome at the park, let's put out best face forward and be mindful of our dogs behavior and pick up after them.

The park has no entry fee and is open from dawn to dusk, 365 days a year.
