The weather people say this will be a stunningly gorgeous weekend, and there are tons of events going on. Here are a few of them:
Fix Up the 105th Street Dog Run: A group of Upper West Siders has committed to restoring the 105th Street dog run in Riverside Park, and they’ll be gathering on Saturday to start the process. From 10 a.m. until 1 p.m., the volunteers will work to create a dog run that fluffy can truly be proud of:
“This dog run is entirely dependent on the efforts of local dog owners and park lovers for its care and support. Please give a few hours of your time to help care for this great neighborhood resource. We can’t do it without your help!”
