Westies in Need (WiN) Westie Rescue
Ottawa Westie Walk
Sunday September 19th, 2010 |
|
Hello! My name is Kim McLean and I
am organizing the Ottawa Westie Walk and Fun Day this year on Sunday September
19th, 2010.
The walk will be held at a new location this 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 11:00 am, followed by pictures taken of each
participant, then a short walk around the park.
The 'walk' is
approximately 20 minutes, however the terrain is not suitable for strollers and
other types of mobility enhanced equipment. 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!
Water for the dogs will be served community-bowl style,
so bring your own bowl if you require a separate drinking container for your
dog.
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.

else...we NEED your photos.

at the Westie walk for everyone to see and we will have a judge make the final
decisions!
