It was a GREYT Picnic!

Hello NLGA Dog Blog Readers!

It was so nice to see everyone at the picnic yesterday!  It was a down right beautiful fall day to be outside in the company of all the greyhounds and friends (new and old)!




The morning started a little chilly for those who helped to set-up.  And a greyt big thank you to everyone who got up early to start their Saturday with us!

Is that really snow?!?

Getting the morning started

The big tents went up quickly and with ease.  All the auction items were prepared and arranged.  Our vendors arrived and set-up (thank you vendors!).  The food truck got cooking.  The welcome table was ready to greet friends.  And the picnic was ready to go!

Then began the perusing of silent auction and raffle items!  Lots of greyt donated items to look at and bid on!  A greyt big thank you to everyone who donated an item!




There was shopping at all the fabulous vendors!  Thanks to everyone who purchased items from them and thanks again to all of our vendors!




The food was tasty again this year!  Thank you to Dominick's for bring out their food truck!


The live auction was packed with excitement!  A greyt big thank you to everyone who bid!  And thanks to those who donated items too!


 

And all the greyhounds!  The dog blog camera did not get nearly enough photos of all the wonderful greyhounds in attendance at the picnic...but have no fear, there will be more greyhound pictures coming soon!  We'll post them when we get them!




The lucky winner of the NLGA community quilt was drawn!  What a beautiful quilt!  Thank you to all those people who put all of your time and talent into making such a wonderful piece of art!



And like the greyhound pictures, the dog blog camera was stuck in a pocket and didn't make an appearance for all of the really fun games this year!  We are confident that pictures of game will be coming soon too.  Keep on the look out for these.  Until then, here is a picture of the bun race winner, Zipper!

A greyt big THANK YOU is also needed for all of our 18th Annual NLGA Picnic Sponsors!  Thank you for your support!


We hope that everyone had a wonderful time at the picnic!  Each and every one of you helped to make the picnic the GREYT success that it was!
