GRAND OPEN DUE THURSDAY

Dog Park Near-Complete

In Milford’s Wilber Park

Milford’s Dan Atkinson rolls out chain-link fencing this morning at the Village of Milford’s Wilber Park, where work is underway to complete a community dog park in time for its prospective dedication at 4 p.m. Thursday.   Attaching the fencing are Dan’s wife Kimberly Winsor, right, and Sarah Cummings, Oneonta, who is active there in Superheroes on Ripped Jeans, the animal-care group.  At left, the Atkinsons’ daughter Willow, 5, looks on.  Inset, Sarah and Kimberly do some of the heavy lifting.    The $3,500 project is being accomplished with the help of a grant from the Milford Rotary Club.  It would be the first public dog park in the county, although other communities are considering similar facilities.   (Jim Kevlin/AllOTSEGO.com)
