Greyhounds Show Irish Roots (and Brave Winter Winds)
March 2nd and 3rd, 2002

Ahhh, the luck of the Irish (in Dallas) blessed the 20th annual North Texas Irish Festival (NTIF) last weekend (March 2nd and 3rd). As fate would have it, a late-season blast of Arctic air kept patrons inside at Fair Park's Automobile and Centennial Buildings. There they had ample opportunities to see greyhounds while listening to Irish music.

Volunteers for Greyhounds Unlimited and their loyal hounds, braved the freezing temperatures to staff a booth for both days. We invited patrons to pet our greys, answered all questions, and shared our stories. It was one of the best NTIF showings for GU in recent years.

We want to thank the determined volunteers and board members for braving the elements (and the roads) to make this event a success:

Don Callas Susan Lemon
Nancy Callas Kimberly Roberts
Gail Clarkin Jimmy Ross
Sammye Conway Danny Saleh
Jim DeGraff Denise Saleh
Brenda Gasperich Meg Santi
Dave Gillen Wade Stanley
Felicity Hollister Lois Teed-Gillen
Laura Hayek Steve Thompson
Kerri Khoury Jackie Woods

And a special AhRooooo (greyhound-speak for "Thank You") goes to Carmon Deyo of Black Horse Design for donating a portion of their Saturday proceeds to GU.

(We wish we had photos to share, but our photographer was busy holding his greyhounds during the event.)

And don't forget, the NTIF is always held on the first weekend of March…rain or shine. So mark your 2003 calendars now!
