Tuesday is Tail Lights

Start a new holiday tradition: Walking with Fido

EverythingDogBlog#99: Start a new holiday tradition!

You are going to walk your dog anyway, right?

Beginning at 4 pm Tuesday, you and your dog are invited to walk the Symphony of Lights with other dogs and their people, regardless of the weather. Your dog is wearing his winter coat, anyway, and you have snow boots, mittens, coats and earmuffs so there is no excuse for not having fun at this great annual event.

From 4 to 5:15 pm you and your best friend can start the nearly mile and a half long walk through a Winter Wonderland of lights at the Symphony of Lights. Finish by 5:45 pm to allow vehicles to drive through starting at 6 pm.

This annual event in Columbia, Maryland, is a must-do and can be walked at your own pace.
