OSKALOOSA — Mahaska County Conservation’s new BARK Ranger program is having a special FREE October event at Eveland Access Campground on Saturday, October 26th! There will be a BARK Ranger Costume Party and Talent Show from 2:00-3:00 pm.

Bring your dog, dress them up for a costume parade through the campground, and then show off their talents in a talent show. You can sign up your dog for the talent show at the event. There will also be a bob for hotdogs pool and make and crafts to create with your dog!
