Donna Markos, of Harrison City, walks over the speed bump with her 6-month-old pup, Kady, a terrier mix, on Saturday, Sept. 7, 2019 at Bushy Run Battlefield in Penn Township. The pair were heading to the park’s first Paws in the Park event for dog lovers and dog walkers.

Bushy Run Battlefield Heritage Society hosted its first dog-friendly Paws in the Park community event Saturday at the park in Penn Township.

Designed in a festival-like manner, Paws in the Park celebrated one of Bushy Run’s highest attending group of visitors — dog-walkers.

The event included activity stations and vendor booths, treats stations, crafts, a photo booth and a variety of games for both kids and dogs.

A caricature artist produced “portraits with your pup” and there was a special museum exhibit featuring dogs in the 18th century.
