newlenoxpatriot.com Life & ARts the New Lenox Patriot | October 12, 2017 | 21 Walker Country Estates Park goes to the dogs Laurie Fanelli Freelance Reporter The dog days of summer may have passed, but “fur”- tunately it’s shaping up to be a great fall – especially for New Lenox’s four-legged residents. On Oct. 1, the New Lenox Park District hosted an afternoon of fun-filled activities aimed at unleashing the good times for dogs of all ages at its annual Pooch-a-Palooza at Walker Country Estates Park. Raffles, demonstrations, dog contests and pet massages – compliments of Girl Scout Troops 120 and 749 – ensured that everyone had a “paw”- some time. Recreation Supervisor, Tracy Wrase, especially enjoyed this event because she is a dog owner. “I love dogs in general and Pooch-a-Palooza is a great opportunity for dog owners to come out with no pressure to check out all the different products that are available for dogs in the area,” she said. “It brings the community all together at a different type of event.” Prizes were awarded to winners in a variety of dogcentric contests. “We held competitions for the biggest dog, the smallest dog and an owner look-alike contest,” Wrase said. “All dogs love to participate in our peanut butter licking contest, and we also had a costume contest as well as the best trick.” New Lenox residents, David and Michelle Pawlak, brought their 9-year-old rottweiler, Macy, to Pooch-a- Palooza where she relished in some pampering while meeting new pals. “She enjoyed herself, and she even made a couple of new friends,” Michelle said. “She had a complimentary massage from the girl scout Jake Tapella, of New Lenox, holds his dog, Grey. Jenny English, of New Lenox, leads her dog, Choco Taco, in an agility demonstration. troops, she got dressed up and had her picture taken and got complimentary treats from Tucker’s [Doggie Delights],” David added. Event sponsor Tucker’s Doggie Delights – located by Berkot’s in New Lenox at 2011 Calistoga Drive – was onsite to help educate petowners on the benefits of feeding their dogs all-natural food and treats, free of corn, soy, wheat, by-products, artificial preservatives and fillers. “We’d rather have dogs thrive than simply survive,” said Manager Nick Janowski. “The cheaper stuff from the grocery stores – commercial foods – have a lot of fillers,” he continued. “A lot of these products aren’t fit for humans, so why would you give your four-legged family member that type of treat? It’s all about what is species appropriate. When pets thrive on better foods, they have less vet visits, less health issues and their all-around health is better.” Stone City Kennel Club also had a booth, and they hosted demonstrations on nose work and agility. Advertising committee Sophia Tannura, of New Lenox, holds her dachshund, Miley, Oct. 1 during Pooch-a-Palooza at Walker Estates Park. Photos by Laurie Fanelli/22nd Century Media member, Heather Tannura, explained that the New Lenox-based club is for petowners of all ages, skill sets and fitness levels. “We have junior handlers all the way through seniors, so it’s for everybody,” she said. “We’re very family based. From competition level dogs Catie Kosteck, of New Lenox, poses for a photo with her boxer, Welder. to your average house pet, we want everybody to have fun.” Tannura encouraged anyone interested in learning more about the club to stop by Stone City Kennel Club on Fridays at 10 a.m. to try out the Fido Fitness class, which takes place on the facility’s indoor walking track. “The program is geared towards seniors – or anyone – especially when it’s hot, cold or raining outside,” Tannura said. With so many great events and businesses catering to local pets it has become clear that New Lenox has gone to the dogs.
