Westies in Need (WiN) Westie Rescue
Toronto Westie Walk
Sunday September 11th, 2011 |
|
Hello! My name is Corrie Yeoman
and I am organizing the Toronto Westie Walk and Fun Day this year on Sunday
September 11th, 2011.
The walk will be held at the same location as
last year...Mississauga Valley Park, 1275 Mississauga Valley Blvd, Mississauga.
Click here to see a map or
click here for written
directions.
 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, led by our very own Bagpipers.
The 'walk'
is approximately 15 minutes and is very relaxed. There is no requirement to
participate in the 'walk' in order to take part in the rest of 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 of course our Westie
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.
There will be some great vendors at
our event again this year. We will be having our wonderful friends from
Freeze Frame Foto back again-they
take AMAZING shots of your Westies in the cutest outfits and you can take the
pictures home with you that very day!
|
We will also be having an Animal Communicator come to
our event. Have you ever said: "If only my Westie could talk!!"
If only
your Westie could tell you:
- why it has training problems
- about its health concerns
- what it likes and needs
- why it has problem behaviour
- what it feels about you and the family.
Well, now it can! Angel Lanthier of
Raising Energy is a very well known
animal communicator who will be at our Westie Fun Day ready to answer all your
questions about what your Westie is thinking and feeling! |
Rain or shine, the Westie Walk is on! In the
event of rain, the schedule of activities may be modified, but the Westie Walk
will not be cancelled 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/Toronto 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, along with your donation, on September 11th and you will speed through
the registration! |
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.
