Summer is coming to end with kids back in school and the weather starting to get cooler, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to stop having events. Here is our September event calendar and a new fundraiser from Explorium Brewpub to help make the downtown dog park a reality.
Check out the MKE Dog Park Newsletter for more information.
Explorium Brewpub announced their mission to raise $20,000 for the MKE Dog Park.
The Third Ward location will be donating $1 for every beer sold and $2 for every 3-pack of Crowler Cans sold. If you are not a beer fan, you can still support the dog park while at Explorium Brewpub. There will be QR codes posted in the pubs to donate directly to the dog park. Not only that, but you will soon be able to find Explorium dog merch releasing in October. A portion of the proceeds from dog merch will go towards the MKE dog park. Thank you, Explorium for being so dedicated to the mission of bringing a dog park to downtown Milwaukee!
