Has everyone had enough of old man winter? Ready for spring? While the official start of spring isn’t until March 20th, here at CGA nothing says spring like the Hebron Maplefest! It’s been a rite of spring for several years now and this year is no different.
Our booth will be at 50 Main Street on both Saturday, March 12th and Sunday, March 13th from 10 am until 2 pm and we’ll need volunteers and their dogs in two hour shifts, from 10 to noon, and noon to 2, both days. If you have a foster dog, this has always been a well attended event in the past and a greyt chance to get them some exposure. Contact chris@ctgreyhounds.org with any questions or to help out.
Our annual Lincoln’s Wish fundraiser is right around the corner! April 9th will be here before you know it and you don’t want to miss out on this fun event. We are going back to the Thomas Hooker Brewery this year, from 5 pm to 9 pm. There will be food, a silent auction, 50/50 raffle, tours of the brewery, and BEER! Get your tickets on our website via PayPal here. Did I mention there’s beer? Do you really need more information than that? If you have some items or services to donate to our silent auction, or have any questions, send an email to chris@ctgreyhounds.org
On Saturday, March 19th, we’ll be having a Hound Hike at Chatfield Hollow in Killingworth (map). We tried to go there this past weekend, but found out it wasn’t plowed! Hopefully come the 19th that won’t be an issue. Check the website for updates if we get a late season snow storm though. We’ll be meeting up at 2:30 with the hike starting at 2:45. If you’ve never been to a Hound Hike before they are really just an excuse for us greyhound lovers to get out and swap some stories while admiring each others hounds. Of course the hounds really like seeing each other too! Oh, and we do walk!
Don’t forget about our usual monthly Meet & Greets in March as well. Stop by and say hi!
