LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Hundreds of hounds headed to Star City Shores for the last day of the swimming pool season, regardless of some scattered shower.
Lincoln Parks and Recreation, in collaboration with the Lincoln Obedience Club, has actually placed on this occasion for several years.
“It’s a longstanding partnership between the department and the greater Lincoln Obedience Club,” said Maggie Stuckey-Ross, Director of Lincoln Parks and Recreation. “They do all the organizing. It’s a fundraiser for them and we are pleased to host it here at Star City Shores.”
All of the earnings raised go straight to the club to help support their deal with animals.
Tickets cost $10 per family, and dogs should be continued a leash when out of the water and their owners are just permitted to go in knee deep.
Event hosts state they would have had an even larger turnout if it didn’t rain. Some years have actually seen over 400 dogs at the splash.
“It’s splashing in more ways than one with the rain that’s falling.” Stuckey-Ross said. “But the dogs don’t mind so we’re happy to be here.”
