free cookies from

for the first 250 guests,
and the Marie Reed PTA will be on hand selling snacks to raise money for their programs.
Also, we're encouraging neighborhood restaurants to prepare to-go meals for you to take with you to the field. Read the next item below
Another brand new addition this year: Dog Valet.
We're working with

They will also need a copy of each dog's vaccination records. Reservations are required -- space is limited to 10 small dogs and 10 big dogs.
