Event Summary - Greyhound Gathering - Kanab 2010 - May 14 - 16
Schedule for 2010 is in the works. Registration will close April 1 for pre-orders, then around May 1 for good. Well-behaved hounds are invited EVERYWHERE, except on Best Friends Tours. Your Greyt Read Book is your bible for the Gathering and will have the definite schedule. You'll get these Books at your accommodation.
Best Friends Tours need to be scheduled in advance. Call 644-2001 x 4537. Times are 9 am, 10:30 am, 1:30 pm, 3 pm. Tours are one and a half hours. The first people to sign up can bring their hounds. Others, who have to bring hounds with them, vs leaving them in a car or hotel, can follow behind the tour van in your own cars. Make sure to not schedule a tour during a Gathering event. Thursday and Sunday afternoon are the best times for tours.
Food - Rewind has agreed to cater again. Their wraps and lasagna were huge hits last year. Vegetarian options always. This year, Suzanne Condit, LA pastry chef, is making the desserts for the meals. Oh my, we are so very excited! I do so love my desserts.
