Tails on the Trails – a dog-friendly bash at the Arboretum June 5, 2010

The Houston Arboretum & Nature Center invites dogs on leashes and their owners to an afternoon of fun, refreshments, and a hike to explore the trails Saturday, June 5 from 2-5 p.m. to celebrate the American Hiking Society’s National Trails Day®. Pooches and their human pals can pick up their water, doggie bag and treat before heading out for a strut, stroll and sniff on an Arboretum trail that winds through the forest, pas a pond (no swimming please!) and back to the party for more refreshments provided by Freebirds World Burrito and Smart Water®, music and door prizes. Admission (includes one dog with owner) is $15 for Arboretum members, $20 for non-members; each additional guest/dog is $5. Kids 17 and under with a parent may enter for free.
