Greyhound Shavedown, Men's Clipdown nets $1038

The results are in and today's Greyhound Shavedown raised $1038 for GPAN. It was a record day for shavedowns with Paul and Vicki Cohen shaving 31 dogs between noon and 4 p.m. That's almost twice the amount we made last year at this same event.

Barber Patty Stelmazcak (Chase), owner of the Family Barbershop, gave haircuts to several hound owners, along with supplying delicious peanut butter brownies for snacking.

Many thanks to everyone who brought their hounds to be shaved and for helping with all aspects of this successful event.
