Words from those who came...

"Thanks. My dogs and I had a great time. Looking forward to next year. Alyssa"

"Just wanted to thank you for the wonderful day on Saturday. As a first-time corgi owner and attendant, we felt very welcomed. What a great afternoon under the shade trees relaxing!"

"Hi Jaime,

I just wanted to tell you what a great time my daughter and I had with our two corgis and one Swedish Vallhund. This is the second year we have attended and it is definitely on our scheduled events each year. Diane with Corgi and Critters rescued two SVs for us when she lived in Houston. The dogs were with a collector and fared better than some of the other dogs. But I have always felt so grateful to her and her group and all rescue groups for what they do. This celebration makes supporting corgi rescue so much fun. And now I want to do herding with Nellie!! That was fun too. Had a great weekend!! Cindy"

"Thanks for all you do for the club and the breed. The Corgi Fest was wonderful. I admire the passion, energy, and generosity you show when putting it all together. You’re one of a kind! Cindy C."

"We had a blast on Saturday. Looking forward to next year. Hope ya'll have recovered!"

"We had a great time today and we are looking forward to next year!"

"Thank you so much for a wonderful day! It was a blast to see all the wonderful corgis and of course the people too! My dogs were so tired - but sparkly clean from their Corgi Clean Up Bath."

"First I'd like to thank Jamie for the amazing day devoted to our corgis and to help raise money for the corgi rescue. Pictures are up! http://www.flickr.com/photos/laneysworld/sets/ "Corgi Fest 08" Penny won some awards, and really had a GREAT time. Dont miss the videos, they have a play icon on the bottom corner of the picture. Hope all is well! Enjoy! Delaney"

"Thank you again for the best Corgi Celebration yet. You did a wonderful
job of organizing and putting this on. You had good help but you are
the one who got it done. Mary Ann"

"I just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed the celebration this year!"
