LAKEWOOD – Here’s something to “yap” about! Take your pet to the annual “Bark in the Park,” that is sponsored by Greater Media radio stations 100.1 WJRZ and 95.9 the WRAT at FirstEnergy Park, 2 Stadium Way, Lakewood, Saturday May 14, noon to 4 p.m., rain or shine.
Before the Blueclaws game, pets can enjoy a variety of free activities, such as Silly Pet Tricks and a Pet Parade, which takes place on the field.

Local animal shelters, rescue groups, and humane societies will also be on site to help you choose the right dog to adopt.
With the purchase of lawn seats for $10 and a Pooch-Pass for $2, leashed dogs and their owners can also enjoy special seating area for the baseball game that day at 4:05 between the Lakewood BlueClaws and the West Virginia Power.
