Greyhoundcastle Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Complete details and registration information can be found at www.halfwayhomegreyhounds.com. Plenty of activities - a chance to visit the National Greyhound Association and go on farm tours to learn how your beloved greyhound(s) started his/her life. Usually puppies can be seen (and snuggled) at one of the farms! There will be a live auction (with a very entertaining auctioneer, Robert Bacon), multiple vendors, games, etc. Proceeds to benefit Teddy Palmer's Halfway Home Greyhounds program in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Please consider putting Abilene, Kansas, on your greyhound event list for 2017 and check the Halfway Home website for further details!

Greyhoundcastle Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 A reminder "plug" for the upcoming June event in Abilene, Kansas - - - This gathering has been around in various format or fashion since the late 1990's. And although Kansas is seldom considered as a "destination vacation" state; nevertheless, it does have one thing that should be of interest to all who have adopted a retired (or perhaps flunked!) racing greyhound: Abilene - home of the National Greyhound Association and multiple greyhound farms from which your beloved dog may have originated. Hands down, there's no better greyhound gathering than Abilene for the educational experience of discovering how that upside-down, roaching dog(s) holding down furniture began his or her journey to YOUR loving home! It's not too late to plan an excursion to the Heart of America Greyhound Gathering on June 21-25, 2017. Details and registration information can be found on the website of Halfway Home Greyhound Adoption. Check it out! www.halfwayhomegreyhounds.com/gathering.html Annie Lambert, Benton (wichita area), Kansas (a veteran adopter & greyhound aficionado since 1994) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boopieface Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 And although Kansas is seldom considered as a "destination vacation" state; When people used to ask where I was going on vacation I would tell them "I am going to the vacation capitol of the world!" They would invariably say "Oh, Vegas?" I would respond "No, KANSAS!!!" Halise Aljo Atomic Kogo and DC Man of Steal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
