It's time for the 6th Annual NEWFIEPALOOZA Newfoundland get-together & fund-raiser to benefit Newfoundland dog rescue. Monkeypups was so proud to have been asked to participate in last year's event and we were thrilled to be asked again this year.
The North Central Newfoundland Club is a non-profit group of Newfoundland dog owners that is 3000 strong. Many members have their newfs trained in search & rescue, water rescue, therapy, cart pulling, grooming and showing as well as other activities. Newfiepaliiza is being held May 2009 in Chicago, Illinois. Members and their Newfoundlands) come from all over the United States and Canada to attend this spectacular event for rescue.
A sampling of what you'll find at this year's Newfiepalooza are as follows: Hundreds of dollars worth of quality raffle/silent auction items, such as a one of a kind newfie jewelry, handmade oiled latigo leads, newf pins, magnets, stickers and more, with 100% of the proceeds going directly to Rescue! Come for the fun, games, NEWFS, prizes, NEWFS, vendors, NEWFS, food, NEWFS, visiting with friends and did we mention the NEWFS?!
Check out the North Central Newfoundland Club's website for more information on this year's event.
