This event is open to DVGRR alumni, their canine siblings, and their humans. All dogs must remain on lead during the event; no retractable leashes/flexis. For everyone’s safety (dogs and people), each dog MUST BE handled by one adult. We have had issues with dog fights and injuries that resulted from a single person attempting to handle more than one dog. Compliance failure could lead to liability issues and legal expenses for DVGRR. We reserve the right to deny access to any event or activity should any attendee arrive handling more than a single dog.
Attend in unique costumes for you and your dog and be ready to hunt for pumpkins in our pumpkin patch starting promptly at 11:30 a.m. We will have dogs and guests line up around our pumpkin patch, and we’ll award the best costume contest winners at that time. Costumes this year can be your unique creations to keep with our farm/pumpkin theme or any traditional Halloween costume will do!
There will be plenty of fun and games as well as food for sale and shopping at Pap’s Place. This event will be held rain or shine. We can’t wait to see everyone!
- Hot to eat at the Reunion
- Refrigerated to take home to eat
- Frozen (we freeze the dumplings after they are baked)
Author Patti Kerr will be attending!
She’ll be featuring her new book Magical Dogs On The Road.
Sponsorships are also available and help us funnel more of the money we raise to where it’s needed most – the dogs! Sponsorships are a great way to honor or memorialize canines and humans, showing your Golden love and support. Sponsorship deadline is Oct. 15th. All sponsorships will be displayed on our website, Facebook page, and at the event.
Please RSVP to inza@dvgrr.org by October 23, 2023 with names of attendees (both human and canine).
**** For everyone’s safety, we ask that each human attending handle only one dog ****
