Fund-raiser for Locust Point Dog Park

The group trying to bring a dog park to Latrobe Park in Locust Point is holding another fund-raiser -- tonight at No Idea Tavern, 1649 Hanover Street.

Tonight's "Yappy Hour" is scheduled from 6 to 9 p.m., and will include raffles to raise money for the dog park, which would be the second one in the city.

The Canton Dog Park is now the only place in the city where dogs can legally play unleashed.

The Friends of Latrobe Park group, which under city rules is responsible for funding, building and maintaining the area, is trying to raise $60,000 so that work on the park could start in a few months. Its members also meet the first Saturday of the month to clean the park.

According to the organization's website, it's glad to accept any last-minute donations for tonight's raffle -- dog-related or not.
