Greyhound Planet is a time chosen each year to honor the Greyhound and its relatives (Galgos, lurchers, etc.) throughout the world. The purpose of this international event is to raise the public's awareness of the wonder and magic of Greyhounds as pets, educate others on the current status of Greyhounds around the world and to honor those Greyhounds who have left us already. The St. Louis event will be a celebration at The Boathouse in Carondelet Park at Loughborough and I55, on Sunday, September 18, 2005, from 3 to 6 pm. There will be information about greyhound adoption with grey related demonstrations. Erin O'Neill, of Newschannel 5, has agreed to emcee the program. Of course, there will be food, vendor booths, children's activities, nail trims, contests, raffles, door prizes, music, a group picture in front of The Boathouse with a fountain and the sunset in the background, a blessing of the hounds, a roo, fun for the whole family, available fosters to view, a candle lighting in honor of all greys, past and present, and more. AVID ID Systems will provide a vet to hold a Microchip Clinic that will cost $20.00 or $15.00 each for 2 or more (a $60.00 Value). All leashed greyhounds are welcome. Bring a lawn chair or blanket. Adopters and their greys will be on The Window on Newschannel 5 on Thursday, 9/15, at 6 am and 3 pm. They will be available to answer questions at some PETCO's on Saturday, the 17th, from 12 to 3 pm.
