(FAIRFAX) - Monroe Lake has partnered with the Monroe County 4H Dog Club to offer a special event for people and their dogs at Fairfax State Recreation Area on Sunday, October 11.

"A Dog-gone Delightful Afternoon" runs from 2 to 5 p.m. It will feature eight activities for visitors and their canine companions: agility course, trick-for-a-treat, scent trail challenge, speed race, rally course, fetch competition, frisbee challenge and high jump. You also can meet adoptable dogs from the Bloomington Animal Shelter.

Proof of current rabies vaccination for dogs must be presented at event check-in. Participating dogs should be friendly and comfortable with unfamiliar people and other dogs.

The event is free after paying the standard entrance fee of $7 per in-state vehicle and $9 per out-of-state vehicle. Campers staying at Paynetown SRA will be admitted for free to Fairfax SRA on October 11 by showing their camping hangtag (must be valid through October 11).
