Lunch Is Covered So You Can Focus on Fetch

Your dog gets the pool, and you get the pavilion. Sponsors Arvest and Crye-Leike Realtors Bella Vista are serving up lunch for the humans while your pup paddles laps and chases tennis balls floating across the water. Gift baskets and giveaways round out the afternoon, with the event brought to you by Arvest, Crye-Leike Realtors Bella Vista, the Bella Vista Property Owners Association, and Bella Vista Animal Shelter.

Pool Rules Every Good Dog Should Know

Before you towel off and head over, make sure your pup checks these boxes:

  • Spayed or neutered
  • Current on vaccinations
  • Non-aggressive around other dogs
  • Leashed anytime you’re outside the pool area

A Little Thunder Won’t Cancel the Fun

If thunder or lightning rolls through, the Property Owners Association will close the pool, but the party doesn’t have to end. Lunch in the pavilion stays open regardless, so you and your dog still have a reason to show up and socialize.

Before you head out, stick around for the giveaways, since there are plenty of tennis balls up for grabs to send the afternoon out on a high note.
