Bricks make great stocking stuffers

What do you get for the pet or pet lover that has everything?

The Roanoke Dog Park Steering Committee is selling commemorative bricks this holiday season that can honor a beloved pet or person. Proceeds from brick sales will fund future construction at the Highland Dog Park, including additional benches and landscaping, walking paths, an informational kiosk and paved parking.

The commemorative bricks will be permanently placed at the dog park’s entrance. Engraved bricks can be personalized with the name of a pet, a person or a business.  A text-only brick costs $100, while a brick engraved with a corporate logo is $150.  (While this picture shows two colors of bricks, only the red ones are available to order.)

Order bricks online at the park's Web site. All brick orders must be placed by January 1, to participate in the initial brick installation planned for early spring 2010.
