Friday October 10- Monday October 13, 2008 - Greyhounds Reach the Beach

Greyhounds Reach the BeachFrom October 9th through 12th, thousands of greyhounds will visit Dewey Beach and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, for the 14th annual “Greyhounds Reach the Beach” weekend.

For attendees — who come from all over the country and even abroad — the weekend is equal parts education, networking, socializing, and enjoying the local flavors. Dozens of hotels now allow the greyhounds, and most of their rooms are booked a year in advance.

For area residents, the weekend offers an opportunity to meet some of these beautiful and gentle dogs. In fact, several curious visitors — having learned about the breed at Dewey Beach — have gone on to adopt greyhounds of their own.

Among the weekend’s activities are morning walks on the beach, educational seminars, an ice cream social, a blessing of the hounds, and a memorial service to remember greyhounds that have passed

A popular destination throughout the weekend is the Greyhounds in Art original art show. This year’s show will feature acrylic, sculpture, jewelry, and more. There will be a reception with the artists from 6:30 to 9 Saturday evening, and further details on the artwork and artists is available at www.greyhoundsinart.com.
