An enormous success, and thanks to everyone who supported the event, attended the event, and appeared! We had consistent visitation throughout the day, and...was it the free ice cream from Darling's Automotive's Ice Cream Truck... or did everyone just have a great time? Parents were responsible, children well behaved, Labradors mellow.
Between general donations, sales of shirts and items, we raised over $2,000 in one afternoon. Thanks also to those who continued to support our Indiegogo campaign!
