Greyhound Gathering - Kanab 2010 - May 14 - 16

Kanab 10 Logo

Greyhound Gathering - Kanab is the 2nd oldest, three-day greyhound gathering in the world. Started in 1999, this Gathering celebrates greyhound love. Every planned and organized activity revolves around the hounds, and the fundraising so needed to rescue more hounds. Every hound and guest participates in events from sun-up to sun-down.

Best Friends staff photographer, Molly Wald, created this slideshow. Here are more pictures from Gathering guests.

Unfortunately, if you cancel I can't refund, as food has been ordered, and money spent on all operational items needed to pull this off.

Help Needed. Can you:

Get Donations for Auction/Raffles
It's never too early to start!
Do you have contacts for 175 - 225 items for Greyt Surprises- human or hound stuff? It doesn't have to be dog related - we love candy, corporate/logo items from where you work, etc. (Donors will get greyt PR) - and we will be very GREYTful!
Do you have Individual items for us to auction and raffle? We need those in hand, or knowledge of them asap.
