Bellevue's annual community picnic is Saturday, May 18, the Red Caboose Park off Hwy. 70 and Colice Jean Road. It's a popular event that features live music, food, shopping, games and rides, plus exhibits.

Of course, we think the highlight of this all-day affair is GPAN's booth. To entice folks to learn about greyhounds and greyhound adoption we'll be taking sign-ups for a drawing for a comfy dog bed at the end of the day we'll have.

Be a Volunteer

We're looking for volunteers with their hounds to help staff our booth in shifts from 10-noon, noon-2 p.m. and 2-4p.m. Hound owners who come out will be entered into a drawing to win a martingale collar. How cool is that? So, if you can't volunteer for a shift, at least come out and get in on the drawing.

To volunteer, contact Amy Moery at fitnessq2000@yahoo.com.
