Dog Park Challenge The Essex Dog Park is currently undergoing a fundraising campaign to construct a dog park at 111 West Street.  For more information view the dog park flyer.

Additionally, our community is competing in the PetSafe Bark for Your Park Challenge.  Through a process over the next few months, one community will be selected as the recipient of a $100K award to support the creation of a dog park!  The runner up will receive $25K.  The number of votes count - and the judgment is based on population, so we are on equal playing ground with big cities.

The process is VERY simple.  From now until June 14, you can vote up to twice a day - once on their website and once on Facebook.  To vote on their website, you do have to create an account.  It takes 2-seconds - e-mail address, password, first and last name.  Identify your city as "Essex, VT."  Then each day (or as often as you can remember), you can click on "Vote Now."

There's never been a simpler way to "contribute."  Please consider this or using Facebook to vote.  We appreciate your support!

Feel free to share with friends and neighbors.
