While the weather was dicey in the morning, it amazingly cleared just in time for our guests to show up for Woofstock! We had an incredible turn-out, with HUNDREDS of Basset Hounds. 
Long, longer, big, bigger, drooly, droolier, droopy and droopier, they're all such characters. We had costume contests, a "Waddle" in the woods (i.e. a very short walk!) drag races, a maze, agility demonstrations and lots of houndly fun. Our silent auction items were a huge hit and while the final numbers aren't yet in, it looks like this was our most successful event in Woofstock history!
One of my favorite attendees was this crew in the cart on the left -- Muffie and Conan. Adopted by a family a few years ago, these hounds are ancient; one is blind. But what I can't get over is the love this guy has for his hounds, crafting this very hound-specific cart so they can attend such events! Seeing things like this makes all that time
I spend with rescue worthwhile. What's even more amazing is that he and his wife just adopted a SECOND pair from us! Granted they're much younger, but it just doesn't get any better than this. Thanks to everyone who supported NEBHR and the hounds! Click here for the online photo gallery.

Yeah! I am so excited that the event took place despite the morning showers! I am so sad that I was not able to attend, but I plan to review all 600+ pictures! You're such a special person to devote so much of your time to these dogs!!!! You should be proud :-)
Ya You for loving the hounds and donating your time and energy!
