A Greyt Big NLGA Picnic Thank You!

Hello NLGA Dog Blog Readers!

First things first...  A greyt big THANK YOU to EVERYONE who came out to support NLGA and helped to make the picnic a huge success!  It was an amazing day and it really would not have been possible without YOU!

We were lucky ... we had an absolutely beautiful day with sunny skies and mild temperatures and the rain held off until we just about finished packing up!

And we were really lucky ... we got to spent the day with new friends, old friends, and amazing greyhounds!  Just does not get much better than that!

Shopping.  Raffles.  Silent auction.  Live auction.  Games.  Food.  Greyhound memorial.  Photo booth.  Calendar voting.  Whew...a fun filled day!

Lots of work was done by to get ready for the picnic!
Thanks to everyone who helped!
