Parade to Honor All Ridgeback Rescues

If you live near Gettysburg, PA or can make plans to be there on September 23rd at 6:30 PM, there is an exciting event for all rescued Ridgebacks.

The national Ridgeback Club has a annual meeting. Most years they have a Parade of Rescues. I have always wanted to go and especially wanted to take Bacari as he made such strides since being rescued from a puppy mill. He never made it- that brings tears to my eyes. I hope I don't wait too long for Roadie. I think it is wonderful that the Ridgeback community supports rescue efforts.

Anyway, here's the information:
Subject: Ridgeback Rescue parade


Attention All Ridgeback Rescue Dogs & Owners,

Please join in the Ridgeback Rescue parade being planned for the 77th
National Specialty.

The parade is planned to be held prior to the Veteran Sweeps on Tuesday
evening at the Host Hotel.

There will be an MC to announce each participant and to read each entrants
Bio.

All Ridgeback Rescue Dogs are encouraged to participate; all Ridgeback
Rescue Groups should encourage their adopters to be in the parade. This is
open to all.

You will notice on page 11 of the Specialty packet, an entry for the Rescue
parade. There is No Charge to enter. Rosettes will be presented to all
Rescue Parade participants. The photographer will be there so participants
can also pose for formal pictures and it will be on the RRCUS video as
well.

This will be a special event to showcase your Rescue dog. A double-header
for sure as there will be a Kleenex alert for the rescue parade, followed
by a Kleenex alert for the Veterans Sweeps!
