The Western Lehigh Chamber of Commerce sponsored a “Paws at the Park” fundraiser May 15 at Grange Park, Upper Macungie.

Monies raised during the event went toward S.O.A.R. (Starting Over Animal Rescue).

Dog lovers, vendors and visitors enjoyed a beautiful day at the park and helped four-legged furry friends at the same time.
