Freeborn County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Josh Partlow and K9 Stalker will participate in a calendar signing event from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday at The Pet Authority, 2014 E. Main St. Albert Lea. Autographed calendars will be for sale.

Stalker appears in the 2018 Vested Interest in K9s Inc. nationwide fundraising calendar in the month of September.

Stalker received his bullet and stab protective vest in 2016 from the nonprofit Vested Interest in K9s Inc., based out of Massachusetts.

All proceeds from the 2018 calendars will be used to provide equipment and services for lawenforcement K9s nationwide.

Vested Interest in K9s Inc. has donated over 2,700 bullet and stab protective vests to law enforcement K9s in all 50 states at a cost of over $2.3 million dollars.

For those unable to attend the autograph signing event, 2018 calendars are available online via the Vested Interest in K9s Inc. website at www.vik9s.org. For mail orders, contact 508-824- 6978.
