Darn, I will be away in VA beach that weekend...sounds like a fun place to take Carlo and meet people from the board. I am only about 40 minutes south of Pittsfield. Drats!

Haven't missed one yet!

I'll probably be there with Vanessa at the GSRNE table if anyone wants to stop by and say hello.

Thanks for the reminder, Yvette, hope to catch up with you there!

I started a thread in the events section a while back about the Pet Rock Festival, but wanted to post here also.

Who else is planning on going this year?

I am very excited, because I will be attending for the first time this year. I can not wait to meet several members from this board, not to mention see some of the dogs that I have helped pull and transport up north. When I put them on transport here in TN, I never in my wildest dreams thought that I would ever see them again. Now I not only get to see one, but probably several all at the same event. I am going to have to pack a lot of tissues.

If you plan on attending I would love to meet members from the board. I most likely will be at the Echo booth or walking around with a white GSD. Please stop by and say hello.

I'll stop by to say hi, of coarse!

I go with my crew every year.

The festival name is a bit deceiving. It's a HUGE outdoor event geared towards raising public awareness about homeless animals, and one that many people love because they can bring their dogs with them. Most people are repeat attendees. Our own GSRNE table is often bombarded with people who currently have german shepherds (or lost one to illness) and want to learn more about how they can help shepherd rescues, so we often spend the day educating, increasing public awareness, and recruiting many new volunteers that day, including a few foster homes. I used to manage the table with only one other person in the old days, now we have about five or six people to handle the crowds, which also leaves time to enjoy other activities of the day, too.
