A Day of Fun for Dogs and Their People Planned for August 13

After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, Dog Days Westonka is returning to Mound, Minnesota on Saturday, August 13. It will be held from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. at Surfside Park and Beach, located at 2670 Commerce Boulevard in Mound.
  In addition to doggie paddleboarding demonstrations, which is a new attraction for the festival, several pet-themed activities are making their return. The day of fun gets underway at 9 a.m. with the Blessing of the Animals performed by Pastor Jim Beard from Bethel Methodist Church of Mound. Also planned is a Pet Parade, a Cutest Puppy Contest and Splash for Cash. According to festival founder Jackie Piepkorn from Westonka Animal Hospital and Lake Minnetonka Pet Wellness Center, Splash for Cash is one of the festival’s most popular events.
“We have $300 up for grabs in prize money, the majority of which goes to the dog that jumps the furthest off the dock into Lake Minnetonka,” she said.
In addition to all the fun activities, there will also be food trucks and vendors on site. Music will be provided by The Abiders, a Twin Cities-based band that plays the blues, country and folk songs.
  Admission is free, but attendees are asked to bring along pet food that will later be donated to the local food shelf. Cash donations are appreciated as well, and can be dropped into the collection bin that will be set-up at the main check-in table.
Dog Days Westonka is put on by Westonka Community and Commerce (WCC), a local nonprofit organization, and is run by all volunteers. All proceeds go towards covering the costs of the event and keeping it going, as well as pet projects and programs serving the community.

RMA Publicity is handling PR for the event, and several placements have already been secured: a story that will begin airing daily on LMCC, the community cable news channel in Mound, on July 31st, and two articles in the Laker-Pioneer newspaper: Dog Days Returns to Mound This Summer and Dog Days Slates Return to Surfside Park for August.
In addition, the FOX 9 Morning News is planning a story for their morning show on August 10th, a few days before the event.

"An African Son: Abraham Boi Watson's Perilous Journey" Launches in July

Everyone has a story, and over the past several years, former Honeywell executive Ron Peterson has gotten to know fellow Gailee Lutheran Church member Abraham Boi Watson very well. So well, in fact, that he has authored the Liberian native's autobiography.

The official launch party for An African Son, Abraham Boi Watson’s Perilous Journey took place on July 23 at Galilee Lutheran Church in Roseville, Minnesota. The event featured a slide show with a Q&A, African food to taste, and of course book sales.

An African Son not only shares Abraham's story, it includes a historical look back at the the abduction of Blacks from Africa to the Americas for over 350 years. Learn more on the author website: PTBBooks.com.
