Westies in Need (WiN) Westie Rescue
Ottawa Westie Walk
Sunday September 18th, 2011 |
|
Hello! My name is Kim McLean and I
am organizing the Ottawa Westie Walk and Fun Day this year on Sunday September
18th, 2011.
The walk will be held at the same location as last year..Dogz Canine Sports Centre, 3859
Carling Avenue, Nepean, Ontario. Click
here for a map.
 This is WiN's MAJOR fundraiser, so we ask
everyone to make donations the day of the walk or get pledges beforehand. The
day begins with registration at 10:00 am, followed by pictures taken of each
participant, then a short walk around the park.
The 'walk' is
approximately 20 minutes. There is no requirement to participate in the 'walk'
in order to take part in the event. You may participate in as little/much of
the 'walk' as you and your dog(s) can handle - or not walk at all.
Next
we participate in some really fun Westie Games such a Wiener Dunkin, Musical
Hoops and we are going to launch a new game... Terrier Races!
We will
have lots of vendors at the walk, so there are tons of things to look at and
buy!!! We finish the day with a BBQ and, of course, lots and lots of prizes for
our participants.
Rain or shine, the Westie Walk is on! In the event of
rain, the schedule of activities will be modified, but the Westie Walk will not
be canceled or rescheduled.
If you are a Facebook kinda person...we
have a page with all the Westie Walk information that you may want to join...click here to
go to FaceBook/Ottawa Westie Walk!!!
| This year we are asking that as many
folks as possible have their Walk Registration form filled out before they
arrive at the walk...this makes our registration line move so much faster.
Please click here to
download your registration form and simply fill it out and bring it to the
walk on September 19th and you will speed through the line! |
It is a lot of fun and a great opportunity for
Westie owners to get to know each other. We ask the walkers to make donations
the day of the walk or get pledges beforehand. We have some great prizes for
the folks who collect the most $ and who travel the farthest distance, etc.
To download a pledge form, just
click here.
So bring your lawn chair, tell all
your friends and we sure hope to see you there.
