Bark for Joy

Every year, Harrison Memorial Animal Hospital's birthday celebration gets a little bit bigger and a little bit better. "Last year was the first time we moved the event outside, brought in a band and had an agility course," remembers Harrison's Melannie Frantz. This year's Harrison Memorial's 17th Birthday Bark-B-Que features the same band — bluegrass strummers the Zephyrs — plus beer from Flying Dog Brewery, delicious barbeque and tours of the hospital, particularly the newly remodeled second story.
