To The Editor:

The Friends of Newtown Park and Bark would like to express our gratitude to our loyal supporters and their dogs who braved the rain to join us for the 9th annual 2K Strutt Your Mutt dog walk and fair at Fairfield Hills on Saturday, June 2. Proceeds from Strutt Your Mutt help to support and sustain Newtown's dog park and other local animal welfare organizations.

In addition to offering our thanks to Newtown Parks & Recreation for help with setup and take down, we'd also like to thank the sponsors and vendors who helped make our day a success: Mt. Pleasant Hospital for Animals, Newtown Veterinary Specialists, Cleaner Tails, Canine Training and Behavior Services LLC, Best Friends Pet Hotel, Ruff Cuff, ARF Scarfs, See What I Saw, The Exceptional Pet, Mary Kay, Good Doggy Treats, Renewable by Andersen, the Connecticut Humane Society, Tiger Rose Labradors, Tick Ranger, Something Winey Crafts, Hometown Foundation, and Café Xpresso.

Thank you.

Warm Regards,

Benay Yaffe, Friends of Newtown Park and Bark
