The 2009 CBR Picnic Was  A Success!!

The annual CBR picnic for our adopting families and volunteers was another great success with over 100 people attending with their darling rescue beagles! We were blessed with wonderful weather (Mother Nature held off with her rain until we were done) and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We would like to thank the following vendors for their most generous donations:

Petco in Westminster
McGuckin Hardware in Boulder
Whole Foods Market South Glenn in Centennial
Dozens Restaurant in Denver
LePeep Restaurant in Westminster
LePeep Restaurant in Boulder
Racine's Restaurant in Denver
Tattered Cover Book Store in Denver
Macaroni Grill in Westminster
King Soopers in Westminster
KBDI--Channel 12

We also want to thank our wonderful volunteers who gave their help to us on Saturday with set up, working the rescue trading post, picking up the agility equipment and clean up. Without them, we would not be able to do this event and have it be the success it is. A rescue is only as good as its volunteers and we think we have the absolute BEST! We hope to be able to post some picnic pictures very soon, so be on the look out for them!
