Second
Annual Greyt Fall Gathering
Chateau de Sparky
October 23, 2004
The 2nd Annual Greyt Fall Gathering at Chateau de Sparky on October 23, 2004 has come and gone. We truly enjoyed hosting the event and would like to thank everyone who came and made it such a success!!! Once again, the weather was a little warm for October, thanks to the heat wave the week leading up to it, but at least the rain held off!!!!
This year was extra fun with the Halloween Costume Contest for the greys. There were so many greyt costumes and they all deserve a round of a-paws!!
And now for the winners:
- FIRST
place: Morris andCarrie, owned by Chris and Rachel Duncan.
Carrie was precious as the "Love Bug", and Morris was stingingly
cute as the "Bumblebee", both homemade costumes!! They received
a $25 gift card to Petsmart and a squeaky toy.
- SECOND
place: Maverick and Duke, owned by Kristin Fields. Maverick
was ever so cool as "Elvis", and Duke was captivating as the
"Jailbird" (or dog). If only we could have gotten "Elvis"
to sing "Jailhouse Rock" to the "Jailbird"!! They
received a bucket of treats and two squeaky toys.
- THIRD place: Rootbeer, owned by Keith and Sally Woodcox. Rootbeer was magical as "Merlin." He received a picture frame and two squeaky toys.
All afternoon the greyhounds were able to run unleashed and unmuzzled in the spacious yard with all their buddies, and they all got homemade Frosty Paws which Kristin Fields so graciously supplied.
The raffle baskets raised some funds for GALT's projects. The raffle and auction winners were:
- Ben Holliday - Whimsical dog
- Joanne Smith - Christmas wreath
- John Rocha - Dog bed
- Suzanne Burke - Celtic writing items
- Kelly Sawall - Dog basket
Deborah Henderson won the beaded collar donated by Star Smelker.
