Great Pyrenees Rescue of Northern California

Davis Picnic Day
University of California Davis campus.
April 19, 2008

How would you like to be part of history? How good would it feel to be part of a 94-year tradition? To participate in one of the largest all-college student run events in the country… if not the world? Are you up for great portable food from around the world? How about interesting people, exhibits, demonstrations and free stuff? All of this and a chance to help rescue to boot? And it’s all free (except the food)!

If this sounds like a good time to you, please come join Great Pyrenees Rescue of Northern California at the 94th annual U.C. Davis Picnic Day April 19th 2008.

GPRNC along with support of the GPCC will be hosting an informational booth in the “rescue” area of the campus at Dutton Hall/Field. Bring your bathed dog and help us promote the breed, educate potential adopters and have a great day talking “dog”.

We need people to help set up and work the booth in the morning (set up approximately 8am), give lunch breaks (approximately 12-2pm) and to help teardown in the afternoon (approximately 4:30pm). Let us know when you can come by to help out by emailing Debi Carpadus at debi@whitefirepyrs.com or rescue@gprnc.org

Come be a part of history in the making!!

All Rescue families - volunteers, adoptive families, foster families and families thinking about adopting a Pyr - are invited to our annual Rescue Volunteers Appreciation Picnic.

World's Shortest Parade - July 4th - Aptos

Please save the date for the "Worlds Shortest Parade" on Wednesday 4th of July. This wonderful and fun day walking in the Parade with our dogs is hosted by Don Bowden with a barbeque to follow at his cabin. Don will be having coffee and dougnuts in the morning at the cabin for those of you that would like to meet there. Please try to be there no later than 8:30 a.m. His Cabin address is 3276 Valencia Rd. Aptos. Or you can meet in the line at 10:00 a.m. SHARP at State Park Dr. Aptos. The weather should be beautiful and not too hot. If you do not want to march in the parade, you can just enjoy time up at the cabin. The giant redwoods and creek make it a very relaxing place to enjoy a day with our dogs and friends. Don't forget to dress up the dogs and of course yourself in your favorite spirit wear, as we celebrate Independence Day!!
