What do you get when you mix a few acres of fenced
land, a swimming pool, a huge tow-behind grill
stocked with bratwurst, burgers, dogs and sausages,
140 people and a grand total of 100 goldens?
PRICELESS!
MasterCard could only hope to catch half the fun we
had on Saturday, May 1.
If you were there, you met me. I was introducing
myself to everyone. I had no interest in getting
wet but I was the foxy golden hearted little girl
who sacrificed my gorgeous hairdo to be a part of
the whole swimming experience. I met or
interviewed each of the dogs at Swimfest.
Everyone had rave reviews. Humans said the food was
great and plentiful. Dogs loved the tennis balls.
Swimming dogs loved the pool. I got close and
personal so I could get the best interviews. You
know that is how a great reporter does it!
Here are some of my exclusive interviews.
Rosie the Wanderer:
I saw that you were at the pool the whole time. Did
you have good time?
Coco Channel:
It was amazing. The water was just perfect and there
were so many tennis balls that needed rescuing.
Personally I think I rescued over 2000 tennis balls.
Rosie the Wander:
That sounds like a little of an exaggeration about
the tennis balls.
Coco Channel:
No, they had humans that were there just to throw
tennis balls. They also had Mike the lifeguard and
some other humans to help out the “kids” that needed
help.
Rosie:
So Bobbi this is like your 5th year
attending Swimfest how did you think it went?
Bobbi:
I cannot believe it but Swimfest gets bigger and
better every year. I mainly work the sign in table
and greet all the super dogs that attended, but this
year I also got to get in a little me time in the
pool. And did a mention the Golden Goodie bags
everyone gets? I love toys, toys, toys and there
were some fun toys in the bags. My sister Holli and
I cannot wait until Swimfest 2011.
Rosie the Wander:
So you are the President of AZGRC, do you have
anything you would like to say?
Candy:
We are grateful to our board member who hosts the
event each year. There aren’t enough words to
express our thanks to the volunteers and supporters
who work so hard to make Swimfest such a fun,
successful event. Because of their efforts and
support we are able to provide an event that
everyone loves. Hope to see ya’ll at Swimfest 2011!! |
