Challock Goose Fair 13th September

For the second year running we attended the Challock Goose Fair and it was another successfull day. Along to help us were Ben, April and newcomer Hazel who took it all in her stride. Honey and Greg who again was a newcomer to the events but Honey showed him what to do and he enjoyed all the attention. Once a very shy lad in the kennel he has certainly come out of his shell now meeting and greeting the public. Joining us again for the day were old hands Bugsy and our would be greyhound Wellington with Angel, Mickey and April’s boyfriend Swifty.

Laura, one of our ex residents came to visit and it was nice to see how she had settled in and looked in tip top condition.

The day started off a bit cloudy but that did not deter anyone from coming along to this very popular event and it is growing every year. There were craft stalls, fair rides, classic car and steam exhibitions, flyball, face painting, refreshments and arena events all day. Something for all the family

Our small gathering of greyhounds certainly generated a lot of interest and we gave out a lot of information and I am pleased to report that we have homed a couple of our residents since the Goose Fair. Events such as these are important as they give people the opportunity to see a greyhound maybe for the first time up close and many are surprised that they are so placid.

A big thank you to all the volunteers that came along to help. We all had a great day and it was well worth all the effort. This event is a great day out for all the family and highly recommended.
