Hugs for Hounds Easter Egg Hunt

Dogs of all ages and breeds are invited to a special Easter egg hunt on Saturday, April 19 at the dog park at Hammel Woods - DuPage River Access in Shorewood!

Shorewood H.U.G.S., a local organization that assists worthy fundraising efforts, is once again partnering with the Forest Preserve District of Will County to sponsor the sixth annual "Hugs for Hounds Easter Egg Hunt."

An entry fee of $5 per dog will be donated toward the care, handling and training of the Forest Preserve's K9 officer, Jullo.

The event will begin at 11 a.m. and will last until all of the eggs are found. Day-of registration will begin at 10:30 a.m. Pre-registration is recommended.

A dog park permit is not required to attend this event, but permits for 2014 will be available for purchase.

Find more information or download a pre-registration form on the Forest Preserve District of Will County's Web site.

This event will be held on natural surface across uneven terrain. In providing programs and services to the public, the Forest Preserve District will make reasonable modifications to ensure that all people have an equal opportunity to enjoy District offerings. View more accessibility information or request accommodations on the District's Web site.
