Turkey Swamp Park will go to the dogs this Sunday, with the seventh annual Dogs for Dystonia dog walk.

Dogs for Dystonia, is an organization dedicated to finding a cure for those suffering from Dystonia, a disorder that causes muscles to contract and involuntarily spasms which result in pain and contortion. In hopes of spreading support, awareness, and finding a cure, Dogs for Dystonia, will meet at Turkey Swamp Park on Sunday, Sept. 23 from noon until 3 p.m. for a dog walk and more.

In addition to the dog walk, Eric Finkel, the on-field master of ceremonies for contests at Lakewood BlueClaws ballgames, will be the emcee at the event. Disney will also be on hand at the event to distribute prizes and admit-two passes to an advance screening of their new animated comedy "Frankenweenie”. Family fun including activities, games, contests, vendors, and more will also be at the event on Sunday.
