Saturday, Sept. 13, members of the Middlebury Dog Park Committee were handing out flyers at the Middlebury transfer station to announce their next two fundraisers for a dog park in Middlebury. The first event is participation in the Quassy Amusement Park 5K Run/Walk Saturday, Sept. 27, with registration at 10 a.m. at Quassy Amusement Park. The race starts at noon. The second event is an appearance by psychic spirit medium Lisa Lanno Saturday, Oct. 4, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Middlebury Volunteer Fire Department firehouse at 65 Tucker Hill Road in Middlebury.
The Quassy event is a 5K charity fundraiser that helps participating charities raise money for their causes.

Each participant younger than 21 who registers will get an all-day ride pass for Quassy good for the day of the race.
