21st Annual Paws Walk 2013! STILL TIME TO REGISTER!

The New Hampshire SPCA’s is excited to announce that Paws Walk 2013 will take
place THIS Sunday, June 9^th at Stratham Hill Park.  The best news is that it’s not too late to register, raise funds, and help save the lives of homeless animals!

“Paws Walk is the largest grassroots fundraising event of its kind for the animals of the greater Seacoast,” said Sheila Ryan.  “Paws Walk usually draws about 2,500 people and some of the most unusual and beautiful dogs around!  Most importantly it raises critically needed funds that help the NHSPCA care for nearly 3,000 each year.  We are so grateful for the amazing community support!”  

Paws Walk is a family friendly event with fun for children & dogs, as well as the adults.  There will be exibitors, including The Bubble Lady, Face Painting and the return of The Zorb! There will also be a demonstration by the Working Dogs foundation and the New England Agility Team.  For sustenance, there will be several yummy food vendors, including Jeremy’s Pizza of Newmarket as our head-lining vendor. 

You can still register online by going to www.nhspca.org, click the link for
Paws Walk 2013 and start raising money for the animals today!  Or, come to the walk and register as a Day of Walker.  You can raise funds for a full week after the walk to qualify for prizes!

Prizes are awarded based on individual fundraising totals and are cumulative!! 

On Main Stage, following the walk, making their Paws Walk debut, will be live band Blackbook!   Other Highlights to include: MC Kelly Brown, of Z107 and WHEB, will be on hand to keep things lively, and the stars of the show will be the 12 or so adoptable dogs on the ‘catwalk’ before the start of the walk.  You might come to Paws Walk to help save lives, and go home with a new best friend! 

Paws Walk offers two routes from which participants may choose.  The 1 ¼ mile route goes throughout the park on mostly flat terrain while the 2 mile route takes walkers up to the top of Stratham Hill to find breathtaking views of Great Bay and the surrounding area.  Registration begins at 10:00 AM and the walk begins at 12:00 PM preceded by The Blessing of The Animals and the National Anthem.
