As an add-on to the Mission Inn Run, Walk & Wag offers you and your furry friend a chance to enjoy a beautiful day out while supporting a great cause. For just $10, you get a limited-edition dog bandana and a $5 donation to Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center. Plus, the first 250 participants will receive a limited edition “Limbert Raincross” silicon collapsible bowl!

But that's not all! We also have a pop-up dog park where your pup can socialize and play, and plenty of treats to keep them happy and energized. So, come on down to Mission Inn Run and join us for Walk & Wag - a paw-some experience for you and your furry best friend!

Meet the models:

We are excited to introduce you to our furry friends who are eagerly waiting for their forever homes. Shiloh, an 8-month-old pup, is not just affectionate but also full of energy. Diamond, a 2-year-old dog, loves playing with other dogs and is always up for some fun time. Luna, our last model, has just been adopted by a loving family. Come and meet these beautiful creatures and give them a second chance at a happy life.

We’re thrilled to share our 2022 Mission Inn Run T-Shirt design by Riverside artist Barbara Malmberg! A graduate of Brigham Young University and University of California, Riverside, Barbara’s primary medium is watercolor, drawing inspiration from the “everyday world” around her. Her works include several views of iconic Riverside scenes, including the Mission Inn and the Riverside Municipal Auditorium.

The 2022 Mission Inn Run T-shirt features Barbara’s piece “Mt. Rubidoux”, a water color rendition of the Peace Tower and Friendship Bridge that overlooks the city of Riverside. In a nod to the sunrise services held atop Mt. Rubidoux for over a hundred years, the piece is accented by a hand drawn “Arts & Crafts” inspired border representing the sunrise over the mountain.

This theme was chosen to coincide with Toward Peace, the exhibition now on display at the Mission Inn Museum Main Street Gallery. This exhibition explores the peace work of Frank Miller, the parallel growth of the peace and suffrage movements and the connections between local peace movements and those on the international stage. While the concept of peace as “more than the absence of war” developed in response to rising tensions in the early 20th century, the continuing relevance is still apparent today. Toward Peace first opened in September 2021 and can be visited for free until September 30, 2022 at the Mission Inn Museum Main Street Gallery at 3696 Main Street.

Learn more about Barbara Malmberg and her work at http://www.barbaramalmbergwatercolors.com. For a complete list of available artwork, please contact Barbara at [email protected]. Original artwork and giclee prints are available for purchase online or at the Mission Inn Museum Store.
