Hi all The Del-Ko-Brydge lions are having their Canada Day celebration again this year on July 1. We are invited to walk in the parade with our hounds to promote the adoption of GRA greyhounds. This year it is in Mt. Brydges (about 20 minutes west of London) The parade starts at 11:00 am at the Legion grounds and ends at the Lions Park, which is in the north end of town, behind the arena. The length is about 1 km. We should try to be at the Legion by 10:15 to get lined up. We can meet at the Mt. Brydges United Church, at the corner of Glendon Rd. and Adelaide St (Hwy 81), which is near the Legion. There is plenty of shade there while we wait for the parade to start. The theme this year is '200th anniversary of The War of 1812' Cathy is planning on making costumes for the hounds to wear, so those who are planning to attend, could you please let us know how many greys you are bringing, so she knows how many costumes to make. Either post here or send us a pm or email usAfter the parade, there is lots of shade/ treed area at the Lions Park. If you have expens, lawn chairs, then bring them, and we can set up there to relax, enjoy the day and maybe have an informal meet & greet. Some of the events of the day, after the parade, include live entertainment, cake, and sports. We hope we have a good turnout of hounds and their people (Don't forget to bring water for your pups and sunscreen for yourselves) For further info or directions, please feel free to email us or pm us.

Sounds like fun! We'll be bringing Holly and Riggin, so a couple costumes would be great, thanks.
200th anniversary of The War of 1812, I'm really curious as to what Cathy has in mind for the costumes!

July 1 is fast approaching! Only a week to go ;D
So far there are 9 hounds coming, that I know of. If you are planning to join us, and haven't let us know, then please do soon, so that a costume can be made.

Sorry, Angus and Nora will not be able to come this year. Nora hurt her leg while running in the yard so to be on the safe side we are limiting her to short walks and leashed bathroom breaks. Hope everyone has a greyt time!!.

Looking forward to tomorrow's parade! Sorry to hear that Angus & Nora won't be joining us. I think I only ever get to see you folks at parades! Scritches to Nora & praying for a speedy recovery for her.
