Walk Your Master is a dog walk from Craven's Park to the dog park along Fish Creek Trail.  The distance, one way is 1.2 miles.  So if you walk both ways - you've done a 4K!

Registration starts at 7 AM at the pavillion in Craven's Park.  The walk starts at 8 AM.  You will register your dogs.  Registration is a $25 donation for the first dog and $7 for the second.

After expenses, the money will go for some much requested enhancements to the dog park such as more benches or lighting.

All registering dogs will get a 'Walk Your Master' bandana.

The Grand Opening Ceremony will start at 9 AM at the dogpark.  Right
now, the plans are to put the tent in the grassy area between the dog-gates and the shelter construction.  This way, if your dog will do better going into the offleash area rather than sitting politely at your side on-leash, then you and your dog can still be at the ceremony... more

Parade of Lights

We are excited to announce the events for this year’s Arlington Parade of Lights.

Remember the old days of walking through downtown peering into store windows and looking at the lights and decorations in and around Main Street? Well, those days have returned. On Saturday, December 2, 2006, we invite you to walk down Main Street, drink a cup of hot chocolate, smell the aroma of roasted nuts, listen to holiday music and watch the children awing at the lights and activities.

Then, as night falls, prepare to be delighted by the sights and sounds of the one and only parade of lights. Antique cars, magically lighted floats, marching groups and mounted units will surely entertain and enthrall children of all ages.
