Open Streets Emory Village 2020-Thank You-A Huge Success!!!

Open Streets Emory Village hosted and produced a successful 8th Annual OSEV! The “Dogs from a Distance” virtual competition had 14 entries (17 dogs and one wannabe… a kitty cat). The judges were Sen. Elena Parent, Reps Mary Margaret Oliver and Becky Evans, and DeKalb Commissioner Jeff Rader.  Commissioner Gannon was sorry that she was out of town and could not participate in the event as she has done every year.

She is sharing the funny little video that the “host/emcee” Jonah McDonald, the park ranger and naturalist at Mason Mill Park, put together that features all the dog participants and promotes the how wonderful Emory village is.
