Calendars are $12 and include $60.00 worth of valuable coupons for the parks including the  Domes, Boerner Botanical Gardens, David F.

A BIG thank you to everyone who joined ROMP at Washington Bark Dog Day on Sunday. The event was a huge success and attrached almost 200 attendees. We couldn’t have asked for more perfect weather and would like to give a special shout out to the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s K-9 Unit for a wonderful demo and Sheriff Clarke for taking the time to stop by our event.
