Benefit for Patterson (dog) Park
The Friends of Patterson Dog Park will be sponsoring a "Yappy Hour" tonight from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., at Gecko's, 2318 Fleet St.
The group is raising money to establish a fenced area in Patterson Park where dogs can play off leash. To sign the Patterson Park group's petition, click here.
To see a description of the project, visit the Neighborhood Design Center's website here.
Efforts to establish a dog park at Latrobe Park in Locust Point are also progressing, and got a big boost recently with a $5,000 grant from the Abell Foundation.
The Locust Point group has raised more than $13,000 so far, and has two more "Yappy Hour" fund-raisers planned.
One will be from 6 to 9 p.m. at Little Havana on May 15. The other will be June 19 at Hull Street Blues.
Comments
Do any of these "Yappy Hours" allow dogs or are they human only?

Osuisnumber 1, Good point. I should have included that. Generally they don't allow dogs. And the few bars in Baltimore that will let you sneak a dog in (technically it's illegal if food is served, and ice is considered food) don't generally want to broadcast it.
Later today, I'll be posting an item about the Loews Annapolis, which has a series of dogs-can-come events this summer, and also soon, an entry about a winery that's holding a special day for dogs. Thanks for writing.
