Barks and Badges coming on June 26

Hi, all, If you have one of our 2021 calendars, you might notice it says Barks and Badges will be on May 22nd. That was a hoped-for date that didn’t pan out. The park couldn’t open for a large crowd on that date, so the event is now scheduled for June 26th. Just want to clear that up in case you’re confused.

We are definitely a go for the 26th, so mark your calendars and plan to attend this FREE admission event at Bartley Ranch.

Feel free to download and share this poster with anyone you think might be interested.

We will have our vendor list up soon. We have four food trucks to provide food and drink options. Also, several information booths to help your learn more about our county services. Some of our community first responders will be there.

And we’ll have new K9 shirts (including some for kids) and the Mug Shots for three of our dogs for sale at the K9 Partners’ tent. We have some fun games for the kids to play. Best of all, our K9s will be on site and showing everyone just what they do.

Bring your camera, sunscreen, and sunglasses. It will be a blast!

Barks & Badges is Happening!

IT’S A GO!!! Hello, K9 friends! We are ON for our annual Barks and Badges event for June 26th at Bartley Ranch!! Please keep us in mind and put us on your calendars!!

If you’ve been before, you know that we really “put on the dog,” so to speak. We work in conjunction with the WCSO to bring you K9 demos of every kind, plus many other fun and interesting things to look at and interact with, such as Sheriff’s Office equipment and vehicles of every kind. It’s a great day for kids and adults alike! Lots of kids games and fun activities!!

Feel free to share, download and print our poster for display. Thank you so much for your continued support! You make our community a safer place!
