Event - Greyhounds in Gettysburg


If you are a new adopter, or even if you have adopted your hounds years ago, you may be interested in a large event that takes place very close to us! Greyhounds in Gettyburg takes place the last weekend in April and has become one of the largest events on the east coast. There are lots of activities planned and a vendor area where you can buy just about anything for your hound. Registration is now open for this event. Just click on the title of this post to get to the GIG web site where you can register. What is special about this event is that our group will be vending there for the third year in a row! We will post more information as time goes on but we wanted to let you know about this event so you can plan for it. Here is the information posted by the Greyhounds in Gettysburg Planning Committee:

Happy New Year and good news to all GIG fans. REGISTRATION IS NOW
OPEN FOR GREYHOUNDS IN GETTYSBURG 2011 ! ! ! !

We are planning a great event for you this year and we want you to be
a part of it. We have great seminars, vendors and dinners planned
for you, and will also be bringing back some of our favorite events.
Here is a bit of what we have planned so far:

We have a new special raffle prize to offer that has been donated by
Kathy Hoynes-Goree, known for her work under the name of Greyhound
Studies. This is a one of a kind art piece that has been commissioned
for GIG only. Kathy has also been one of our loyal vendors for many
years, so you may already be familiar with her work. Her website is
listed on our vendor page so go see for yourself how talented she is.
We will be showing this work in progress on the GIG website. Don’t
miss the opportunity to be the owner of this beautiful custom work of
art.

We have a great new shirt design created by Kent Roberts of
Caricatures By Kent Roberts that we are previewing on the website.
He has really outdone himself with this one. Be sure to order one (or
more) when you register.

There is a new twist to the barbeque dinner on Saturday night this
year. Our sponsor, ARC of Adams County, will be offering us a CHOICE
of either ribs OR chicken. All you have to do is make your selection
when you register. So keep a sharp eye out and make your preference
known.

We are really looking forward to 2011, so come one come all, and be a
part of the fun this year. Give yourself the “Dogcation” you and
yours have been needing. See old friends and make new ones. Be sure
to tell your friends that we are up and running once again in case
they don’t receive our emails. We don’t want anyone to miss out. And
remember, this is the annual fundraiser for Triangle Greyhound
Society. It is the means by which we are able to raise the funds that
we use to help adoption groups in North Carolina and beyond. So help
us help the hounds, and have a good time doing it. What more can you
ask for??
