This is a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society’s regional Relay For Life of the Northwoods event which takes place annually.  A traditional part of Bark for Life events is the Blessing of the Animals for those wishing to participate and it begins the event.  This year the blessing will be delivered by Reverend Topher Mehlhoff from the Union Congregational Church in Three Lakes and United Church of Christ in Rhinelander.  There will be a variety of games and costume contests, a short and pleasant nighttime Glow Walk and more.  Participating dogs will receive a trick or treat bag with goodies, as well as a pet bandana.  Owners will receive a Jurassic Bark logo, wicking style t-shirt with their registration.  The shirts are available while supplies last so early registration is suggested.  Entry into the activities, games and contests is included with the paid registration.  Dogs should be on a six foot non-retractable leash and up to date on shots.
