What is the Year of the Dawg?       
    The Year of the Dawg is a community art project led by Leadership Mecosta’s Class of 2008. Businesses, individuals, and groups had the opportunity to purchase or sponsor one of 25 fiberglass bulldawgs. Each dawg, which measures approximately 3’ tall by 4’ long, was painted by a local approved artist and displayed at the sponsor’s site of business for the next year. Please view the about page for more information.
