🎄 Calling All Bourbon City Bark Park Members! 🎅

Get ready to spread holiday cheer! This Thursday, December 5th, we’ll proudly represent the park in the Bardstown Christmas Parade. 🎉

🐾 Who Can Participate?

-Registered park members with up-to-date vaccinations.
-Dogs must be leashed at all times, and owners are responsible for their dogs' behavior.
-Participating dogs should be comfortable with loud noises, flashing lights, crowds, and children.

🚶‍♀️ The Parade Route:
The walk is just over a mile, meeting at City firehouse and Tiger Alley on W. Broadway/ N. 5th. The route heads down W. Broadway where you turn right on to N. 3rd St at Baskin Robbins. You then walk all of North 3rd St/Main St until the parade ends on W. Stephen Foster. After the parade is over, it is then each individuals responsibility to find their own way off the road and back to where they and their dog(s) need to be to leave or enjoy the rest of the parade.

🕠 Important Details:

Plan for off-site parking and walking to our meeting spot (we are spot #10)
Meet up no later than 5:30 PM. The parade starts at 6:00 PM.
Line up/ meeting at the BCBP stake number can begin after 3:30 PM.
For safety and holiday spirit, add some lights to you and your pup!

🎅 Can’t Walk? Cheer Us On!
If walking isn’t your thing, join the fun as a spectator—this is a community event for everyone to enjoy!

Let’s make this a night to remember and support our very own Wilma Pittman Sorrell, for always putting on a great parade, but for making it even more magical this year. If you’re interested in walking with us, send us a message, and we’ll get you all the details.

🚨 Winter Water Shut-Off Notice 🚨

Hey, Bourbon City Bark Park Members!

With freezing temperatures on the way, it’s time to prepare the park for winter. This Thursday, our trusty plumber, Noah Jordan, will be shutting off the water and blowing out the lines to protect the pipes from damage during the colder months.

Here’s what you need to know:
Starting Thursday, the park’s water will remain off until spring.
Please bring water for your dog whenever you visit the park. It will be your responsibility to keep them hydrated.

We hope you’ll still enjoy the park this fall and winter! Many dogs (and their humans) love the cooler weather and have just as much fun—if not more—during this time of year.

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation!
