Not only was this event a huge success, but it was also a blast! We had an amazing time meeting all of you and your beloved canine companions. It was so nice to see the community turn out in in such large numbers (over 50 dogs were present!) to support the Humane Soceity of Yates County.
Vendors and demonstrators from far and near were in attendence with their wares and services; they included Ruff Stuff Dog Toys, For Claudia’s Sayke (natural dog care products), K-9 Kids, and those featured below.
* A special thank you to Yates County Sheriff’s Deputy Brandon Jensen and his canine partner Argo, a Belgian Malimois (see pictures) for coming up to demonstrate police dog work and training
We are also indebted to Gail Furst, from K-9 Healers, who spent a lot of time helping us to organize and find donations for this event (Gail is pictured below in bright green Dog Walk T-Shirt)
Also available for sale was a custom T-Shirt, in a variety of colors, featuring the dogs of Hunt Country Vineyards – we still have a few for sale in our Tasting Room.
A portion of the proceeds from all sales (vendors and Hunt Country’s Wine & Gift Shop), as well as the registration fee & raffle fees, were donated to the Humane Society of Yates County – totaling more than $1,000!
Attendees received unlimited walking time on our premarked trails through the vineyards and woods and a complimentary winetasting (grape juice for the kids!). Here are some fantastic pictures (courtesy of Tasting Room employee Charlene Blankley) of the event…
