You have to check the little "I'm not a robot" box to vote for a new "Watkinsville" bark park

Please vote for "Watkinsville" even though most of us realize that Oconee Veterans Park is not in Watkinsville proper. Don't vote for Oconee as that is a small town in Washington County. From the Oconee County Rec Department's Facebook page, via the Oconee County Sheriff (or vice-versa): We need each of you to vote so we can win $100,000 for improvements to the Bark Park located at our Veterans Park. The link REQUIRES you to search by city, so make sure you vote for WATKINSVILLE...if you choose "Oconee" you will be voting for a town in Washington County that didn't even enter the contest. Watkinsville, GA
