Meeting Santa isn’t only for children — it’s for dogs too. Park and Bark, working to establish an off-leash dog park in town, held a Photos With Santa Fundraiser as part of the Annul Breakfast With Santa event sponsored by Newtown Parks and Recreation at Newtown Middle School on December 11.

Park and Bark officials raised close to $300 and photographed more than 40 families with Santa. Those interested in volunteering or donating to Park and Bark may visit www.NewtownParkandBark.org.
