The courtyard of the Alexandrian Hotel in Old Town was filled with four-legged residents and their parents as more than 100 people turned out April 4 for the first canine Happy Hour of the year.

Sponsored by The Alexandrian, Jackson 20, Port City Brewing and Frolick Dogs, the event was held in support of the Alexandria Police Foundation and its K-9 retirement program.

“Our event last night was a huge success,” said Police Foundation Executive Director Ginny Obranovich. “The crowd was much bigger than we thought and everyone had a great time. Preliminary results are we made over $3,000 from the event.”
