LDRA FEBRUARY 2010 NEWSLETTERLDRA VOLUNTEERS MEETING The next LDRA volunteers meeting will be on Wednesday, February 10, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. in the Sawyer State Park meeting room. Come on out and participate. DOG PARK PERMITS NOW AVAILABLE AT THREE DOG BAKERY Tired of having to send in your dog park application via "snail mail" and then waiting for your tag and fob to be sent back to you? The LDRA is happy to announce that Three Dog Bakery, 3929 Chenoweth Square in St. Matthews, is the only place in Louisville where you can drop off an application in person and leave the store with a tag and fob in hand. And while you are there you can browse Three Dog Bakery's selection of dog toys, accessories and healthy, store-baked treats. For more information please contact us at info@louisvilledogs.org or call Three Dog Bakery at 897-3DOG (3364) for store hours and information. LDRA LOGO CONTEST WINNER Thank you to everyone who submitted artwork in our search for dog run logos. We had nearly 40 entries in all! Congratulations to Josh Simpson for submitting the winning logos in our contest to design logos for each of the dog runs. Here is Josh's explanation for the creation of the logos: "With all the logos I wanted to keep a playful color palette to use along with black. I also wanted to provide a representation of Louisville by including the skyline in the upper part of the logo. With the dog across the middle of the logo I wanted an artistic expression of a playful, active dog as the physical activity associated with all of the dog parks helps maintain a happy, healthy pet. 
Sawyer Park has many trees to provide the landscape and shade needed in the summer months and I chose to show that in the bottom part of the logo. 
Vettiner Park also has many amenities for active people so I chose to represent a section of a golf course in this logo. 
Cherokee Park is popular for its scenic loop winding through the trees and over the hills of the park. I illustrated two hills with a winding path disappearing into the hills. 
The Water Tower is a well known sight in Louisville and due to its proximity to the Champions Dog Run I included it in the logo along with a representation of water for the Ohio River." 2010 DOG PARK PROJECTS The LDRA is interested in getting your feedback on improvements that you would like to see at the dog run that you visit. We will then evaluate all the feedback we get and make a list of projects that we hope to accomplish this year. So please do some thinking and then email your suggestions to info@louisvilledogs.org. And as an FYI, we are already planning a major power seeding campaign at the parks this spring so don't say "plant some grass" or "eliminate mud" as one of your suggestions. Be creative. Talk to you next month, Brian Davis Louisville Dog Run Association |
