Launch of ‘Canine Stick Library’ on April 1st

Collect, borrow or salvage – join the Carnegie Public Library, dog park committee members, guests of Red Collar Pet Foods, local officials and other owners of dogs and their pooches at the dog park for a special event.

The dog park is located in Chrisman Park and the event is scheduled for 2 p.m. on Friday, April 1. Don’t be fooled, this event is the “Inaugural Stick Throw” and the beginning of the “Carnegie Canine Stick Library”.

You’ve probably seen the adorable memes on social media featuring a “stick library” for dogs to borrow fodder for playtime. Now Washington Court House will have its own resource for its beloved dogs.

Since 2016, the Dog Park has been a destination for dog owners and their furry friends looking for a safe place to exercise and play. Made up of dedicated citizens, the Dog Park Committee developed and proposed a plan for the park, then raised funds for fences, benches, and more.

The Washington City Courthouse now operates the park, which has separate areas for small dogs and large dogs. We hope that members of the community will join us for this delicious dedication.
