The land has been secured, but there are still some things needed to bring the Dog Park at Hamel's Memorial to fruition. That's why the Shreveport Dog Park Alliance is holding a big fundraiser this weekend called "Wine & Beer Tasting - with a Bite!" It features tastings, food, music, a funniest animal photo contest...and a silent auction. And you won't believe one of the items up for bids at this thing...a painting done by a trained beaver! A minimum donation of $35 bucks will get you in to the Barnwell Center in downtown Shreveport for the event. Part of the "bite" of it all is that each tasting bottle has some type of animal on the label. The fundraiser runs from 7 to 10 Saturday night. Proceeds from the event will be used to buy fencing for the new Dog Park.
