Highlights from the 2007 Manitoba Basset Hound Walk
On behalf of myself (Trina) and Donamae, we want to extend a sincere thank you to all the bassets (and their owners) who came out on September 16 for the 2007 Manitoba Basset Hound Walk! And the weather couldn't have cooperated any better - what a beautiful September day.
During the walk portion of the event (or is the correct term more appropriately a hike!?!) we had about 40 bassets and at least 75 people at the park - it was truly a wonderful sight to see. In total over $700 was taken in during the event - funds will be donated to The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba in the memory of Ken Cossette, a wonderful basset hound owner and dear friend of many who were in attendance yesterday. A huge thank you to two individuals who made very generous individual donations during the walk.
With the weather cooperating the way it did, yesterday afternoon was a wonderful opportunity to get together with one another and see bassets of all shapes and sizes and of all personalities and character.
It was great to have both Manitoba basset hound breeders in attendance yesterday. Thank you to Blackjack Bassets and Bagabones Bassets for coming out and spending the afternoon with us - many of us have been blessed to know and love your bassets.
