GREYT GREYHOUNDS AND FRIENDS PET FAIR 2009

Join us for H.O.T.'s eigth annual Greyt Greyhounds and Friends Pet Fair, which will be held on Saturday, October 24th at the Graff Pavilion in O.P. Schnabel Park, 9606 Bandera Road, San Antonio, Texas, beginning at 10:00 a.m.

This is a time for Greyhounds, canine friends, and their humans to get together to just have fun! Come and see old friends and meet new ones too!

This is H.O.T.'s major fundraiser each year. This year, proceeds of the Fair will be used to help defray our growing veterinary bills. Currently, H.O.T. has two Greyhounds who are in poor physical condition with heartworms.

This year, planned activities include (but are not limited to):

H.O.T. Spa - Pet manicures and pedicures and ear cleaning for a nominal fee.

Design A Leash Booth - $7.00 - decorate a leash for your dog with color and bling!

Children's activities, which will include games of chance and other fun stuff

Pet and Human massages - $1.00 per minute!

Greyhound Kissing Booth - $1.00 per smooch! - and we will have a four-month old Greyhound puppy who will be happy to share a kiss or two with you!

The ever popular Pet Costume Contest will be held right before the Grand Prize Raffle drawings at the end of the day!

Dash Pet Contests - We have some new, special surprises being planned for dogs and their owners!

We will once again have our Silent Auction tables running throughout the day with some pretty spectacular items on the all-day and reserve auction tables

Awesome Raffles!

Representatives from different rescue/adoption groups will be in attendance to provide information on their programs and will have pets for adoption at the Fair!
