In June 2021, KAST Laser Creations, 307 S. Orange Street, Morrison, IL, donated to the future Morrison Bark Park by having a fundraiser. The family-owned business sold engraved water thermoses with paw prints and a dog’s name on it. Various colors were available. They raised over $200 for the dog park.
On the Move with Parks and Recreation Committee member Karla Burn praised, “Thank you so much, KAST, for donating to the dog park. It is so appreciated.”

Other recent donations to the dog park include
* Everett and Nancy Pannier, $500
* Rock River Lumber and Grain, $500
* Candlelight Inn Restaurant, $500.
“We appreciate each and every one of your donations, that will help make this dream a reality,” stated Karla Burn. “This is the best community ever, and On the Move with Parks and Recreation sincerely thanks you!”
