28th Annual Walk for Animals

Every year, animal lovers fetch their sneakers, leash up their pooches (or walk without a pooch) & take a walk together to benefit the Monadnock Humane Society on this special day. Walkers raise money by finding friends, family, colleagues, businesses, co-workers - any animal lovers - to sponsor them. Get a team together or come as an individual participant. Teams are a great way for groups, businesses and organizations to get involved and a lot of fun for groups of friends, but every individual walker can make a difference too. http://www.firstgiving.com/monadnockhumane/28th-annual-walk-for-animals-2016 The Walk for Animals will begin with the traditional opening parade led by Bright, Jesse & James - the Swanzey Oxen of Open Space Protection at 10AM. Registration begins at 9AM. Children are welcome & encouraged to participate! There will be two courses. Choose from either a 1-mile or a 3-mile course on a paved road that winds through beautiful fields & wooded areas. The road will be closed to traffic for the day. The walk itself will conclude by 2PM with a picnic lunch, a DJ, & an awards ceremony.
