What could be better than a beer and a dog on a hot summer afternoon in Columbia’s “Central Park”?
Not the kind of dog with mustard, but the kind you pet and walk and play fetch with - in other
words, your best friend, Fido. Or Rover. Or Spot. Or even Charlie.
For Dogs (and People) of All Ages and Sizes
On one recent Wednesday evening, I walked over to the park and stage at the Chrysalis* (that
big “green thing” in Columbia’s downtown park, Merriweather Park at Symphony Woods) with
a bunch of other dog people who mixed and mingled on leash for two hours.
Yappy Hour is new in 2022 through the fall, each Wednesday from 5:30-7:30 PM. Everyone is
welcome but encouraged to pre-register to receive news of any changes or cancellations. Up to 40 people pre-register each week.
On My Wednesday
Dogs first met each other on-leash and excitedly but they quickly settled down. The heat may
have had something to do with that but there was a lovely breeze blowing through the green
Chrysalis which added to the ambiance and conversations.
Snacks are available for purchase as well as soft drinks, water (for canines and humans), beer,
and wine.
I can’t wait for Wednesday evening!
Events at the “Chris” (the Chrysalis) are organized by Columbia’s not-for-profit Inner Arbor
