Cathy arrived about ten minutes after Janet and Susan and Bonnie and Spot left. She said she would stay until 2 PM. She did not bring her Springer, Maggie, because she said it�s too hot for Maggie, and also Maggie doesn�t like men. Cathy got to share stories with many of the attendees, and she had the ingenious idea of putting ice in the water bowls. None of the other booths had water bowls, and our iced water attracted additional dogs and their owners too. Here is Cathy manning the booth. |

Because of the rule about no foster dogs at the booth, I went to Kiesel Park by myself at 8 AM, then after Cathy showed up, I went home to get Jake and Anastasia, so they could have some fun at Woofstock also. We were only there for 20 minutes, because it was so hot, especially for Anastasia. I think Anastasia was the only cat who attended the event, so the few people who saw her in my backpack were very interested in her. Then after 20 minutes, I took them home, and came back for the rest of the day. |

Anastasia at Woofstock. Everybody who participated in Woofstock had so much fun that I would consider it a success, even though we were not able to raise any money from the event. Both Janet and Cathy said they would gladly do it again next year. We were able to give away about 90% of doggie treats, bandannas, and bookmarks, and about 50 pamphlets and 30 business cards. Also, all four of us volunteers paid the $5 entrance fee, but we were all glad to do it, because the money goes to the LCHS. The Lee County Humane Society's PR person came by around closing time, and she said they were so glad we were there, and our organization is very highly regarded at the humane society. Right before I left the park, I got to talk to Rebekah, the pet store owner who allowed Jake and me to attend her obedience class, to tell her that Jake passed his CGC test. Rebekah always has a booth at Woofstock to wash dogs for $5 (proceeds to LCHS). One of my vets was also there, helping out at the East Alabama Vet Association booth. |
