As planned the rain-date is 10/21 (next Sunday). Same place (Parlee’s corn maze), same time (11:00 start), new day (Sunday, 10/21)

 

Hope to see you all there when it is a little drier than today is!

On Saturday, September 29, the Chelmsford Dog Association will have booths set up at both the Chelmsford Common Day (on Chelmsford Center Common) and at the Walk ‘n’ Wag All Breed Dog Walk (at the 4-H Fairgrounds in Westford)

Come meet some of our members on the Chelmsford Common! We’ll have information on the CDA, the plans for the dog park and upcoming events for people and their dogs…

Or come to the 4-H fairgrounds for the 12th annual Walk ‘n’ Wag All Breed Dog Walk Fund Raiser which is sponsored by German Shepherd Rescue of New England. We’ll have people there too – selling hot dogs, hamburgers and other goodies.

Or maybe, split your time and come see us in both places!
