    Leadership Harrisburg Area Presents Kyle MacDonald, One Red Paperclip See Below

    Sunoco Theatre / Whitaker Center
    6:00 Speaker @ Sunoco Theatre
    7:00 Reception @ Whitaker Center
    Kyle MacDonald is a young, carefree, quirky character who traded one red paperclip for a house in one year’s time and 14 trades. Craigslist and the internet gave the world a first hand role in Kyle’s legendary journey where thousands cheered and supported his success. Kyle captured the essence of his journey and offers his own style of inspiration in his book One Red Paperclip. Kyle’s story underscores the values of determination, living in the moment, building relationships, and, most importantly, using what you have to get what you want – even if all you have is one red paperclip! Tickets are available for $40 from HYP Board Members, contact Wendell Hoover at whoover11@yahoo.com. For more information about the event go to: www.leadershipharrisburg.org/content/view/25/39/

    Take a walk on the wild side and join The Grateful Dog Walk. Grab your leashes, lace up your sneakers, form a dog or puppy pack, and dont forget your favorite fur-clad buddy! Central Pennsylvania Animal Alliance is excited to host the fourth Grateful Dog Walk. The Walk, part of CPAAs WoofStock Festival is scheduled at Riverfront Park , Harrisburg , Pa. for Sunday, September 28 at 10am. Last years Walk was a blast and the donations collected greatly benefited CPAAs DeSex in the City Spay Neuter Program, and CPAA member organizations.

    The Walk is a leisurely stroll near the beautiful Susquehanna River through Harrisburgs Riverfront Park . The Walk will begin on the City Island side of the Walnut Street walking bridge. Participants will circle City Island , cross the Walnut Street walking bridge, go toward the Harrisburg Hospital , then turn around and enjoy the scenery of Riverfront Park while making their way back to Kunkel Plaza where WoofStock will HOWL at 11am! Water stations will be available along the route for all participants, with fur or without!

    Dont go around with your tail between your legs if youre dog-less you can still hound your friends, family and co-workers to make a donation to this great cause. Take part in the walk and possibly fall in love with an adoptable pooch from one of the rescues or shelters attending.

    Participants who choose to leave their paw prints on the entire route will finish at Kunkel Plaza and help kick off WoofStock, CPAA's version of a doggie love in, at 11am. Bring a blanket or lawn chair and relax with your best friend. Listen to some good ole' rock n' roll or get down to tunes from some of Pa's grooviest bands and acoustics performers. Enter your pooch in the Funkytown Pet Costume contest, check out the wonderful homeless pets making their debut in the Rescue Me Rockin Mutt Strut or just enjoy the day!

    All donations gathered at The Grateful Dog Walk and WoofStock benefit member organizations and CPAAs Spay/Neuter and Vaccine Program and HOPE Dogs Program.
