people and for the hounds.
This is an event even your dogs will enjoy! Sixteen Cayuga Wine Trail wineries are opening up their doors to the hounds...and their owners on Saturday July 22, 2006.
Each winery will provide a nice welcome and treats for the hounds and food pairings and wine for their human companions... At most wineries you can bring your dogs right inside with you!
All vendor fees and $5 from the Grapehound Wine Tour tickets go directly to greyhound adoption in New York through Greyhound Adoption of Greater Rochester and in Pennsylvania through Keystone Greyhounds (centered in the Harrisburg area).

Old Bridge Day
We will be participating in the 11th Anniversary Event of Old Bridge Day. The fair is held at the Municipal Complex on Rte 516 in Old Bridge, just off of Rte 9 or Rte 34. Parking is at the High School and Ice Arena.
We hope once again to have a corner spot with a shady, grassy area for the dogs. Old Bridge has treated us very nicely each time we have attended and they welcome the dogs.
We need petable dogs as there are alot of children in attendance. Hours are 10-4. No one needs to stay all day, just an hour or two is fine.
For additional information please contact Irene llu1964@aol.com 732 679-1107
