GOLDENS UNITE!
On Saturday, April 13th, we’re bringing together all of the goldens in Texas for the second annual Largest Golden Retriever Meetup in Texas! Last year’s event had 341 Goldens in attendance and this year we’re hoping to shatter that number! In addition to all the goldens you can handle, it’s also a fundraiser for the Gold Ribbon Rescue.
ABOUT THE MEETUP
Our goal is to set a Texas Record of 500 Golden Retrievers. After doing some research, we would need more than 700 goldens to set a national record. So, we’re hoping to beat last year’s record on the road to a national record in the years to come. The event will take place at Lustre Pearl South at 11am, but be sure to stick around until 1:30pm. That’s when we’ll do our official count and get our group photo! This event will also be a fundraiser for the Central Texas golden retriever rescue, Gold Ribbon Rescue.
In addition to enjoying a golden afternoon, this event will feature:
