The organizers of the Solvang Greyhound Fest are in the middle of planning the Solvang Greyhound Fest 2012 gathering! Be aware there will be some adjustments made and hopefully these changes will be for the better for all! Please keep in mind this gathering is for the dogs, about the dogs and the major fundraiser for GreytLegs so we can continue to help broken leg Greyhounds coming off the track.
The Solvang Greyhound Fest is fast approaching it's 8th year!
Greyhound owners are always ready to gather in large numbers to show their love and support for Greyhounds, to enjoy the company of others who share the same compassion and to show others how wonderful Greyhounds as pets can be. After all, it is the Greyhounds that bring us together and naturally this event is all about the Greyhounds!
There are many Greyhound gatherings located on the east coast and in the Midwest of the United States. However, Greyhound lovers on the west coast of the United States often found it difficult to travel such a long distance to enjoy the company and gatherings with other Greyhound lovers. They wanted a place closer to home to celebrate Greyhounds. That's when the West Coast Greyhound Gathering now known as the Solvang Greyhound Fest was born!
The West Coast Greyhound Gathering site needed to be very Greyhound friendly with a small town atmosphere but with plenty of other activities for visitors to partake in other than Greyhound related activities. Solvang, California fit the bill with comfortable weather, friendly small town atmosphere and plenty of activities to enjoy - not to mention that the whole town is excited (right down to the Mayor, shop keepers and inn keepers) about the Greyhounds coming, too!
We are excited
to hold the gathering in Solvang and we hope everyone enjoys their time as well! Proceeds raised from the Solvang Greyhound Fest will go to benefit
GREYT LEGS - a 501c3 non profit support group to aid various groups with broken leg veterinarian bills through grants.
Feel free to browse the website and don't forget to register! It's going to be an experience you will never forget but more importantly, it's all about the Greyhounds in every way!
The Solvang Greyhound Fest is hosted by the many wonderful citizens and shopkeepers of Solvang, California. We want to thank them for allowing us to visit their beautiful city - all in the name of Greyhounds!
For the young and the old,
the fast and the slow
For the special needs
and the one's we've come to know.
For the one's we've lost
and the one's we've let go,
For the one's still to come
and the one's we love so.
They are the reason
we celebrate and mourn
Once a year in
ol' Solvang, Californ
