Murphys, CA…The first annual Murphys Mutt March will join the list of Community Club organized events when a bevy of canine companions and their doting owners gather on Saturday, April 29, at 8:30 a.m. “The Murphys area is home to so many wonderful four-footed-friends that we thought it would be a good idea to have an event where they could get together, have a good time socializing, and strut their stuff,” says Carol Roscelli, the newly elected president of the Murphys Community Club. “If you think your animal would be offended by being called a mutt, you can tell them it is simply a dog walk with a catchy title.”

The popular Murphys Community Park will be the assembly area. From there the participants will make their way down Algiers St. to Six Mile Road with a destination of Ironstone Vineyards. The marchers will enjoy this scenic area when it is at its lushest. At the turnaround, the route will take everyone back to the park for an award ceremony and the drawing for prizes. All dogs must be on leashes.

“Along the way you and your pooch will benefit from fresh country air, stimulating interaction and laughter, along with a little exercise,” states Roscelli. “All this and helping to support our wonderful park.”

The registration fee is ten dollars, which will include bottled water, dog biscuits, and a refuse receptacle. Participants can pre-register at Spence Ranch Feed & Supply, 1291 Hwy. 49, Altaville, or Next! Upscale Consignment, 220 Big Trees Rd., Murphys. You may also register at the event.

The Murphys Community Club is celebrating its 69th year of providing services and programs for the greater Murphys area. Its prime responsibility is the management and maintenance of the beautiful Murphys Community Park.

Murphys Community Park is located on Algiers St. in historic downtown Murphys. Membership in the Murphys Community Club is open to everyone and contributions are tax deductible. For further information, call 728-8093, or click on the Community Club link at visitmurphys.com.
