Celebrate National Dog Day with a walk in the park alongside your pooch.  Join Washington County commissioners Wayne Johnson and Stan Karwoski for a guided one-hour hike through rolling hills in the newly re-opened Cottage Grove Ravine Regional Park with your furry friend. 25 lucky dogs will receive a free tennis ball courtesy of Chuck and Don’s Pet Food and Supplies. All dogs must be on a 6-foot leash or shorter and controlled by handler. Meet at the trailhead sign in the lower parking lot.

The County Board meetings in the fifth floor Board Room. Agendas may be found on the county website a day before the meeting.

Join WCCO's Mike Lynch and make the stars your old friends as we watch the great celestial show in the skies over Lake Elmo Park Reserve. We’ll have giant telescopes aimed at Jupiter, Saturn as well as the star clusters, galaxies, and other great celestial treasures. We’ll also check out constellations like The Big Bear, Cygnus the Swan, Pegasus the Winged Horse, and some of their great stories behind them. Meet at the swim pond.
