This Pool Party Is For The Dogs

Cool off with your beloved pet at the Fred M. Evans Pool during the annual Doggie Dip Swim Party on Saturday, September 8. This special day is for all well-mannered dogs and their handlers. In an effort to ensure safety for everyone, there are Doggie Dip rules:

  • All dogs must be on leash when not in the water
  • All owners and dogs must know how to swim
  • Dog handlers must be age 18+
  • No more than two (2) dogs per handler
  • Proof of rabies vaccination (tag) on display at all times
  • No dogs in heat permitted
  • Handlers must clean up after dog and provide their own waste bags. Temporary waste stations will be available on site
  • Limit of 25 dogs per time frame/weight classification

In addition, the swimming time varies depending on the weight of dogs:
1 to 2:30 p.m.: small dogs (up to 25 lbs.)
2:30 to 4 p.m.: medium dogs (26-50 lbs.)
4 to 5:30 p.m.: large dogs (51 + lbs.)

Handlers can pay the $5 per dog entry fee on-site and only cash will be accepted. All proceeds will benefit the Dog PAWs fundraising efforts to construct Salisbury’s first dog park. For more information, visit www.salisburync.gov/PLAY.

Travel Mask Mandate

https://www.cdc.gov/quarantine/masks/mask-travel-guidance.html

The Transit Security Administration issued a security directive effective on February 1, 2021 requiring the wearing of masks by travelers to prevent spread of the virus that causes COVID-19. Conveyance operators must also require all persons onboard to wear masks when boarding, disembarking, and for the duration of travel.

This Order must be followed by all passengers on public conveyances (e.g., airplanes, ships, ferries, trains, subways, buses, taxis, ride-shares) traveling into, within, or out of the United States as well as conveyance operators (e.g., crew, drivers, conductors, and other workers involved in the operation of conveyances) and operators of transportation hubs ( e.g., airports, bus or ferry terminals, train or subway stations, seaports, ports of entry) or any other area that provides transportation in the United States.

People must wear masks that cover both the mouth and nose when awaiting, boarding, traveling on, or disembarking public conveyances. People must also wear masks when entering or on the premises of a transportation hub in the United States. A copy of the Transportation Security Administration’s security directive can be found at www.tsa.gov
