Bichon Furkids (BFK), a local rescue group in its 8th year of
operation and dedicated to saving bichons and bichon mixes, will host its
semi-annual Bichon Bash event on May 17th. This event will celebrate Raffles,
the Forever Foster Poster Dog for 2014 and will launch the
Furkid & Friends Sanctuary —focused on providing medical care and housing
for both Furkids in transition as well as those with longer-term needs.
The Spring Bichon Bash attracts close to 250 people
(and almost as many bichons), and provides a venue for families who have
previously adopted bichons, people interested in learning about the breed and
the many volunteers who support the mission of the group. The event is a
day filled with fun, entertainment and education. Emceeing the event this year
will be Valerie Nandalini and Marti Colwell. New to the event will be a
Children’s Game Corner. In addition, the Bichon Bash features a Parade of
Rescues, a Costume contest, a silent auction, raffle, training demonstrations,
a segment on pet nutrition, and “Stump the Trainer,” a vendor faire and
fully-catered all you can eat lunch.
Tickets can be purchased at the door or in advance. Registration donation is $25 per person; $75 for family of four. For tickets or to volunteer at the event, please email joyce@bichonfurkids.org.
