Greyfest Unleashed 2010
Saturday, June 26th, 2010 11:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
GreyFest 2010 is fast approaching! GPA-MN's biggest fundraiser of the year, this event is loved by hounds and humans alike and promises to be a great day of fun, camaraderie, and hounds!!! This is an annual event that honors our hounds and helps raise money to help retired racers find homes.
This year we are excited to be hosting the event at a new location that has 6 acres of securely fenced and well-manicured field area where the hounds can enjoy off-leash merriment. Please note: muzzles will be required for all breeds in the off-leash area. We’ll have them for sale at the event, or you can bring your own.
