The JanBoree features several canine-friendly activities for owners and their pups:

Bark & Brew Beer Garden at Minooka Park, 4-8pm Jan. 22, provides the perfect spot for dogs and their owners to congregate and sip a cold beverage. The first 100 leashed pups to arrive receive a free bandanna. Take a Sunset/Candlelight Hike with your well-behaved, leashed canine companion in the park.

From 11am-3pm Jan. 22 at Picnic Area 3 in Minooka Park, watch the Alaskan Malamute Club of Wisconsin dogs pull up to a staggering 3,000 pounds on a wheeled cart.
