ARF-Aid....March 7, 2009

A benefit concert for Australian Shepherd Rescue

! ! !         Don't forget to register if you are planning to attend.

We need to let the caterer know how much barbeque to prepare.  Registration as of 9/23/08 - People: 69 / Dogs: 53

Welcome Rock 'n' Roll and Blues Fans!

  Mark your calendars for THE concert event of the 21st century! 

You remember Band-Aid, Live-Aid, and Farm-Aid?  Well, it's Sue Smith's 50th birthday, and to raise money for the Aussie Rescue Fund - ARF, Sue's going to celebrate her Big 5-0  by bringing you        ARF-Aid! 

All day long, we'll groove  to the blues rhythms of Bobby Rose and the Dukes of Juke, and when the sun goes down, you'll be treated to live performances by some of the greatest rock bands in history!  So squeeze into the old bell-bottoms, break out your best black tee shirt, and join us as we step back in time to the fabulous 70's!  

                  Admission to the concert is FREE! 

Of course, we won't turn down donations from anyone who wants to support the Aussie Rescue Fund - ARF.    If you can't be there in person but wish to send a donation, click here for more information:  DONATE 

Otherwise, ARF will raise money from food and beverages, and tee shirts.  The money goes to help rescued Aussies in need.  Expenses can include vaccinations, spaying and neutering, heartworm treatment, and shelter fees, but more importantly, it often goes to pay for emergency surgeries or veterinary care.

You don't have to know Sue Smith personally to attend.  This event is open to everyone - and their dogs!  Please register so we know you're coming.  Register Now

             We're Kid-Friendly & Dog-Friendly!

We encourage everyone to bring their well-behaved, vaccinated dogs and kids!  The two-acre venue is fenced on all sides with 4-foot high woven wire "horse fence," so usually only the smallest dogs can escape.  (Think wiener dogs.)  This is an "off leash" event.  ALL dogs inside the fenced area must be off leash.  This is to prevent leashed dogs from feeling threatened by unleashed dogs.

We're planning some fun activities for the kids including a nature scavenger hunt with prizes, face painting, and fake tattoos. (Grown-ups, feel free to get your own tats, too!)
