Calling All Passaic and Bergen County Greyhounds for the weekly Sunday Greyhound Walk. Every Sunday, weather permitting, there's an informal Greyhound Walk around Van Saun Park in Paramus.

And speaking of pooped... here's the details: Bring: Something to pick up the poop. Place: Van Saun Park Paramus. Parking Lot #5 (The Pony Rides) Time: 9 am Sundays.
