Vicki Lange is our behind-the-scenes volunteer coordinator who keeps us all moving in the right direction. Thanks, Vicki!
The FETCH BBQ Benefit will be on Sep 18th at Clover Valley Dog Park in Oak Harbor. Attendance is FREE. BBQ available for purchase. Raffle tickets available for purchase. All proceeds go towards the maintenance and improvement of FETCH's 5 off-leash dog parks.
The finalists in the Petsafe “Bark For Your Park” contest were announced, and unfortunately, FETCH didn't make the finals. The 15 finalist videos are available for viewing and voting for the winner here. We knew it was a long shot, and after viewing the finalists’ videos it’s clear why. None have any place in their communities to let their dogs off-leash, and all are trying to build their first dog park.
So although we were excited and hopeful that we would be selected as a finalist in order to renovate Clover Valley Dog Park, this activity has made it clear just how lucky we are to live on Whidbey Island, with 5 dog parks and an awesome bunch of people like yourselves who make them possible. We thought you might want to see the video we submitted here.
We want to give a HUGE thank you to Bruce Towne and Jim Lombardo at Persistent Image, who donated their time, energy, and prodigious skills to write and create our video, and to Terry Rose, actor and voiceover artist extraordinaire, whose pro bono performance for us made the video great. And thanks to all of you for supporting FETCH, both in the initial voting for the contest, and for all the other ways that you help make these parks possible.
