3rd Annual Doggie Derby Our Best Ever

Posted by Lorraine Dellert

Our 3rd Annual Doggie Derby was our BEST EVER! We raised over $9,000 to benefit our Charitable Foundation which helps fund the various projects the Rotary Club of Forked River is involved with. We couldn't have done it without your help! Thank you to our vendors for participating, and thank you to the community who turned out in record numbers with their four-legged friends to help support our efforts!

We had over 45 vendors this year selling dog related products, such as:

Home-made dog treats

Clothing

Hair pins

Breath Freshener

In addition, we had:

Dog Trainers

Non-profit Rescue Organizations

Scented Candles

Bird Houses

Shabby Chic Merchandise

We even had enough vendors to include a "Food Court" where we had several vendors to choose from including dessert!

We met or exceeded our first year record of 1000 attendees, of whom 90% brought along their 4-legged friends to either enter them in one or more of our 5 contests OR to have them view 1 of our 4 demonstrators which ran from dog training to square dancing dogs.
