Willmar, MN – The Willmar Stingers are excited to bring back Bark in the Park Night, sponsored by South 71 Veterinary Clinic, at Bill Taunton Stadium. Join us on Monday, June 15th, 2026, as the Stingers take on the St. Cloud Rocks.
One unforgettable evening, the stadium will transform into West Central Minnesota’s top dog-friendly destination, welcoming pups of all kinds to support the Humane Society of Kandiyohi and Meeker Counties. Fans will get a kick out of seeing Stingers players wearing custom jerseys featuring photos of our fans dogs.
Showcase Your Pup on Game-Day Jerseys
Ready for your dog to shine?
Submit a photo to have it displayed on the Stingers’ jerseys during the game. The first 50 fans who send in a photo and purchase the ticket package will see their furry friend’s face on the field.
Plus, every submission automatically enters you into a raffle to win one of the 40 exclusive player jerseys, with all proceeds benefiting the Humane Society.
Fundraising for a Pawsome Cause
Get in on the action and help a great cause! Fans at Bark in the Park Night can purchase raffle tickets for a chance to take home one of the unique jerseys. Last year, the raffle raised over $1,000 for the Humane Society, and with the support of South 71 Veterinary Clinic and the Stingers, we’re aiming to make an even bigger impact this time around.
How to Get Involved
Want your dog to be a star? Submit a photo via the Stingers’ website or social media platforms (Facebook, X, or Instagram). Once your photo is received, a Stingers representative will reach out to finalize your ticket package and secure your dog’s spot on the jerseys.
