Formerly called "Leash and Lights" it is now "Walk and Wag"

Please buy the earliest time slot so you can walk at whatever pace you want. the earliest i could find was 6 pm so that will be the official group time. The group will take a photo and depart once we seem to have everyone who RSVP'd.

Please remember to buy tickets ahead of time as once they sell out there will be no at door option. THEY WILL SELL OUT!!! DO NOT WAIT TO BUY TICKETS!!!

Treat your pooch to a leisurely 1-mile stroll or an invigorating 3-mile walk at Leashes ‘n’ Lights. Bond with your favorite canine as you experience more than 450 magical light displays. Enjoy hot drinks and take a pet selfie with Santa (bring your own camera). In the heated tent, there will also be a variety of dog vendors present including Corgasaur, 4H Kids N Dogs Club, Paw by Paw Dog Training, Pet Wants, Warrior Canine Connection.

Trails are paved so this is senior and dog/kid stroller friendly event for those of us who have older pups! Last entry at 8 p.m. Event ends at 9 p.m.

Arrive early for your reserved time as the park is not set up for a surge in traffic normally and getting in can take a while. Also remember this is Thanksgiving week so traffic is unusually heavy this week.

DRESS UP YOUR CORGIS AND STROLLERS WITH FESTIVE LIGHTS! We will attempt a group picture and trust me only the dogs lit up are usually visible!
