The day starts at 10 am with the registration for the walk with Mutley. All registered walkers get a treat bag and a bandana for their dog. Don't wait to long, as registration only goes to 12 pm and then the walk takes place with Muttly. Now, as you know, we have the Eugina Tupper Memorial Award and a prize package valued at a minimum of $200 will be awarded to the Top Walker (17+ yrs) who raises the most money. Top Youth walker (12 to 16 yrs) who raises the most money will get an iPod plus $50 gift card and more. Top Elementary Walker (5 to 11 yrs) who raises the most money will win a Pizza Party for 10 plus more. Team Walkers must consist of 5 walkers who together raise a minimum of $500. The team that raises the most money captures the Big Bone Trophy for a year, an engraved brick on the shelter's memorial walk and a $200 gift certificate generously donated by Boston Pizza.

Don't forget that to be eligible for the prizes walkers must register pledge sheets by 12pm and have the full amount of pledge money.
