PAWED will not be holding our PAWED at the Park event in October, 2011. It was a very difficult decision as we all look forward to and enjoy this event! However the Board of Directors believes that we must direct our resources to other important priorities this year, including getting our mobile spay/neuter clinic out into the community and continued advocacy for the much needed animal shelter. Thank you for your participation in past events and we hope to see you again at PAWED at the Park 2012!
PAWED at the Park 2010 It was a perfect and fun day for over 1,000 people and their dogs attending PAWED at the Park on October 3rd at the El Dorado Hills Community Park. This was the first year that PAWED had the responsibility for the entire event-and it was a great way to celebrate PAWED's 10th Anniversary! All proceeds from the event benefit the PAWED mobile spay/neuter and disaster response clinic, which was on display and tours provided at the event. After tabulating all revenues and expenses, we are pleased to report that we raised $7,800! The day began with the 5K and 3K Walk/Run around the park, with 100 people and their dogs participating. Congratulations to the 5K Run winners: Men's: 1st: Bryan Tully & Lucy; 2nd: Dave Lyle and Mimi. Women's: 1st: Susie Kocsis & Vegas; 2nd: Melinda MacKinnon & Budda. Highlights of the day included the dog park, where dogs ran freely in a secure, fenced area and were able to play and socialize…and were closely monitored by staff from the El Dorado Pet Club. Inspiring Demonstrations of fun things to do with your dog were provided: Rally Obedience by members of Hangtown Kennel Club, and agility by Tim and Linda Buell and their aussies, Carly, Stitch and Belle. And who could forget the fun costume contests, including Most Creative, Celebrity Look Alike and Dog/Human Look Alike, and the behavior contests including Crazy Pet Tricks and Sit/Stay competition! Towards the end of the day, there was an impressive demonstration by the El Dorado County Sheriff K-9 Teams-wow, those dogs are so well trained! The PAWED prize raffle was also a big hit, and that alone raised $1,700! A big thanks to the event planner, Debbie Pishek, and the many PAWED volunteers who worked for months before the event and many hours during the event. And also a huge thanks to all our Sponsors, Vendors, Donors (listed below) and the El Dorado Hills CSD Parks staff whose support made this event possible. If you attended PAWED at the Park, we hope you enjoyed it! If you missed it, we hope to see you there next year---mark your calendar for Sunday, October 2, 2011! Take a look at our photo gallery which captures the spirit of the day and the special bond between people and their dogs! Photos from PAWED at the Park, October 3, 2010!
