The Parks & Recreation Committee is planning the Pooch Palooza event for April 11th. Organizers are currently seeking vendors and raffle prizes, with a vendor form being distributed to encourage participation. Vendor booth fees are set at a $35 donation to the Dog Park, with nonprofit groups paying $25. Proceeds from the event are expected to go to the Parks Foundation to fund dog park improvements. The committee is also discussing parking at Crystal Beach park, including free parking in the Shores lot and paid street parking, as well as changes to parking fee collection at Joe's Bayou Boat Ramp. This event is in the planning stages, offering an early opportunity for businesses. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers can engage now as organizers solicit vendors and plan for potential dog park improvements. Early outreach could provide an advantage before specific plans, bids, and permits are finalized.
