Third time was a charm for Bark for Life

PECATONICA – The Pecatonica Woman’s Club and Relay for Life of American Cancer Society worked against tough timing twice in 2015. The first attempt for a Bark for Life fundraiser in April was cancelled due to a rainy forecast, and the second date in August was a “shut off the alarm and roll over for more sleep” weather day.

Kristine Siemens of the Pecatonica Woman’s Club organized the Bark for Life fundraiser. A small group of dog owners and their leashed companions took off for a one and a half mile walk on the Pecatonica Prairie Path from Sumner Park.
