2008 GRREAT Bark-B-Que

Join us on Sunday, June 29th, for our annual Bark-B-Que at Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis, MD.   

Quiet Waters offers an off-leash, fenced park for the dogs to play and an off-leash dog beach for swimming.  Quiet Waters also has more than 6 miles of trails for spectacular walk/hiking.  While the Picnic is over at 3 p.m. you’re welcome to stay until dusk.

Food and beverages will be provided.  Activities for both two- and four-legged guests will be available.  This is a wonderful way to start the 2008 Summer season with friends, food, games, merchandise, prizes and lots of fun for all. 

In addition to the 50/50 drawing, we’ll hold a raffle for gift baskets and other donated items.  If you can donate items for the raffle, please contact Carolyn Beyer, Event Coordinator.

For information on the park, visit the Quiet Waters web site. 

Special Note: Tell the Park gatekeeper that you are attending the GRREAT Picnic and you will not be charged admission.  Price of parking is included in the GRREAT cost.
