BRBMDC Howl-o-ween & Club Meeting Nov 5th: Hurdle Mills, NC
  • Thank you to everyone who came out to the 2022 Howl-o-ween Party! John and I really love to share our farm with everyone. It is wonderful to see so many dogs run off leash. We had 25 people and 17 1/2 dogs (Orion only counts as a half!). Since we are on the eve of our club's annual auction we kept the raffle small, yet we raised $145 from ticket sales and donations. The pot luck items were wonderful, the game participation was fantastic, and the costumes were outstanding! We are looking forward to the next time we can have the club out! - Dorene

           Thanks John and Dorene for the professional photos
