“The colors of the fall trees provide the perfect background at La Vista Park; the nicest dog-walking park around,” said volunteer Board Member Amitie Flynn. “We hope to bring new and familiar families and individuals out next Saturday to see what theDiscoveryGardenis all about and to show off their dog’s best Halloween Costume.”
