My Great Experience at the John DeBella Dog Walk 2023

This past weekend was quite an eventful weekend for me! It started off Friday night with Game 3 of the Philadelphia 76ers and the Boston Celtics series, where Joel Embiid had his NBA MVP trophy presentation. Although the game did not go the way I wanted it to go on Friday, it was still quite a memorable night. Then, of course, there was Game 4 of the series on Sunday, which was a nail-biter and one of the most nerve-racking games in recent memory for Sixers fans. However, this time, the Sixers walked away with a victory behind a great game from Embiid and another all-time performance by James Harden, including the game-clinching three-point shot in the final seconds. But in between both Sixers games over the weekend, one of my favorite events from the station happened on Saturday! And it could not have happened on a more beautiful weather day! The John DeBella Dog Walk 2023 took place on Saturday at Green Lake Park. For those of you who don’t know, it is a great event that takes place every year to help support shelters and rescues all around the Delaware Valley. Listeners from all over bring their dogs out and compete in competitions such as being crowned the yearly Mayor of Dogville. Speaking of which, I got to meet a dog named Jack Daniel, a purebred dachshund, who I represented for Mayor! Plus, I got to hang out with some Delaware State Troopers and their canine dogs, including one named Beau! I definitely enjoyed that! I have a fondness for anything Delaware since I went to high school at Salesianum High School in Wilmington, DE! Plus, there were a ton of good food venders as well, such as Mr. Sticky's, Rita's, Burgers By Wildwich. Overall, it was another successful day for JDB and everyone else involved! I can’t wait to get back next year and see who is crowned the next Mayor of Dogville!
