On Saturday, May 15th 2010 from 1pm-5pm, the Greyhound Adoption League of Texas (GALT) will celebrate its 9th birthday at Franconia Brewing Company in McKinney. In case of rain, the celebration will be postponed until May 22.
Bring the family, dogs, chairs and blankets for a relaxing afternoon. Planned activities include Franconia Brewery Company tours, Blue Dog Bounce House, 5,000 square foot off-leash greyhound play area, GreytStore , GALT Family Vendors, raffle, GPS collar demo, food by GALT’s volunteers, birthday cake for humans, hounds and more!
With a heritage that dates back to the 1800’s, Franconia Brewing Company is more than just a local brewing company. By combining the local accessibility to North Texas with Franconia’s German history and heritage, Brew Master Dennis Wehrrman showcases some of the most genuine and freshest Bavarian brews in North Texas.
GALT is a 501C (3) non-profit all-volunteer group dedicated to placing all greyhounds, primarily those that competed and trained for racing, into loving homes. GALT facilitates the adoption of greyhounds by providing kennel services and foster homes along with their medical needs, including spay and neuter, assisting them in the transition from track-life to home-life; and educating the public about why the greyhound has been a favored companion dog for more than 4,000 years. To learn more go to www.galtx.org or call 972-503-GALT.
