Doggie Street Fest Report from San Diego!

We had an excellent turnout at the Doggie Street Fest in San Diego on July 12. Thank you to all who stopped by, donated to our rescue, and visited with our Golden Ambassadors. Your support is greatly appreciated!

From our event manager Mary:

Yesterday’s Doggie Street Fair was a huge success!  There was lots of sunshine, plenty of people, and a bunch of pooches in every size, shape and description.  The venue could not have been a better site.  Although all the booths were side by side with no space between, we had plenty of grass in front of us so we could comfortably show off our Golden Ambassadors.  With the help of all our amazing volunteers we were able to work the crowds.  Many of the attendees who stopped by our booth showed interest in adopting and fostering.  The basket raffle was also a success, we received $500 in donations!

I would like to thank the volunteers who help make the Doggie Street Fair a success:  Barbara R did all the leg work to get GRCGLAR on the Doggie Street Festival’s list of participants.  In spite of being jet lagged, Barbara and Woody helped with the set up and stayed for most of the day.   This was Johanna V’s first event, she was our photographer, helped set up and also worked the crowds.  Ed and Najia had their beautiful Annie and Laverne with them.  Bruce and Cindy brought the magnificent trio of Benny, Walle and Parker — who now has 2 events under his collar.  Nancy and Ellie May took the late afternoon shift and helped with the take down.  Carole C. and Sue C. also participated in this event.  A special thank you goes out to Bonnie W. who was the first one to arrive and the last one to leave.  She has a natural talent for getting people to participate in our basket raffle and talked to countless attendees about our Rescue.  Everyone gave their all today on behalf of our sweet Goldens.
