More than 100 runners and walkers turned out for the Second Annual Bark at the Park Saturday in Byerly Park from as far away as Tennessee. The youngest participants were 7-year-olds Spencer Tripp and Jenny Powell; the oldest was 84-year-old Franklin Mason of Mullins.
“I think this year was an outstanding turnout, we had more than what we expected,” said Tiffany Wilson, event organizer.
The 5K run/walk raised $5,000 for the Darlington County Humane Society.
“We had a lot of people bring their pets out,” said Wilson. “And that’s who it’s for, our friends at the Humane Society, and we’re very excited to have such a successful event.”
Mayoral Candidate Mel Pennington announced the award winners.
The top three dogs that crossed the finish line were Gracie and her companion Brandon Downey, 29, of Hartsville; Haley and Roger Buckley, 41; and Sydney and Olivia Crabtree, 17, of Hartsville.
