ELGIN – The Chicago Bandits and A.D.O.P.T. Pet Shelter invite all four-legged friends and their owners to the annual “Bark in the Park” day on Sunday, July 11 when the Bandits host the Akron Racers at 2:05 p.m. at Judson University. The canine celebration is held in partnership with A.D.O.P.T. Pet Shelter.
Dog owners, along with their “best friends,” will have the opportunity to get their photos taken by our professional photographer, receive an official “Bark in the Park” souvenir paw print, and participate in other “dog friendly” activities.
