ADOPT YOUR FIRE
HYDRANT TODAY!
Therapy Dogs United, Inc. is proud to announce its partnership with the Erie Water Works to bring "Spray on the Bay" to Downtown Erie. This is Erie's first-ever beautification project that will transform the city's system of fire hydrants into decorative art. If you're an artist, and would like an application, call our office today, at (814) 456-DOGS! Hydrant designs will be sponsored by local businesses. For a pricing schedule, call or Email pat@therapydogsunited.org
Therapy Dogs United, Inc. is also looking for local artists to commission Erie's 2008 Fire Hydrant Beautification Project. Phase One will transform every fire hydrant lining State Street - from Dobbins Landing to West 14th Street - into a piece of art. Artists can start submitting original artwork and design concepts in early May, and the hydrants will be unveiled in conjunction with Celebrate Erie, 2008.
Coming in 2009 and 2010! Phase Two and Phase Three of "Spray on the Bay" - which includes the fire hydrants on Peach and French Streets! Look for details on the continuation of this beautification project in the near future!
For more information, visit www.sprayonthebay.com - and watch for details on our calendar - coming in 2009!
Oscar the Grouch (shown above) and Fido (side) was painted by local artist Ben Raymond.
You can see Oscar for yourself - he's located at the corner of West 5th and State Street in front of Al DeLuca's Variety, and Fido is at the East corner of State and North Park Row. Oscar was sponsored by Werkbot Studios - an Erie-based web design and host company (www.werkbot.com), and Fido was donated by a paid sponsor for Therapy Dogs United, Inc.
