SOS Animal Rescue hosts "Geocaching with Canines" event at Midland City Forest Saturday

SOS Animal Rescue hosts "Geocaching with Canines" event at Midland City Forest
By the Midland Daily News
SOS Animal Rescue is hosting "Geocaching with Canines" Saturday at Midland City Forest, 2840 E. Monroe Road. This interactive event will allow participants to enjoy the wilderness with their dog while using clue maps and/or coordinates to find geocaches around the forest.
"Geocaching has become very popular," said Joann Taylor, SOS Animal Rescue president. "We thought this fundraiser was a perfect way for attendees to spend time with their pooch or family members while exploring one of Midland County's premier parks."
All proceeds from the event will benefit SOS Animal Rescue's Spay/Neuter Assistance Fund. The Fund is used to help offset the cost of spaying/neutering a loved pet for low- or fixed-income residents of Midland County.
"Anyone can participate, whether they have a dog or not," Taylor said. "Those who own a GPS or smartphone should bring them. However, we will provide clue maps to help everyone navigate to the geocaches."
Each geocache will have small items for those who find it. All participants will be entered in a drawing for a chance to win a GPS. Registration starts at 8 a.m. and the geocaching begins at 9 a.m. The entry fee is $25 per person. For details, visit www.sosanimalrescue.org.
