Barktoberfest 2008
We would like to thank everyone that helped make Barktoberfest a success!
We had over 100 people attend the event and raised $1,010.75, the money raised went to benefit The American Cancer Society, Labrador Rescue of Florida & Small Paws Rescue.
The event included fun and games for the whole family and everyone enjoyed musical paws & the costume contests. We saw many of our familiar friends show up and met some wonderful new friends!
The success of this event would not have been possible without our participating vendors and the many generous local businesses who donated items for the silent auctions and raffles.
The real success came about an hour into the event when a beautiful 2 year old Yellow Lab was adopted during the event and has found her forever home.
