Lokipups Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 I know I'm more of a lurker here, but I thought the board might get a kick out of seeing one of the bigger events my rescue group does. For those of you who might not be familiar with Broadway Barks, it is a huge adoption fair that is organized by Bernadette Peters and Mary Tyler Moore, both major dog lovers and animal activists. The event is hosted by the Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids group, which is comprised of all the actors who appear onstage. Just a few of the big names who came out in suppport of the event this year are Delta Burke, Billy Crudup, Harvey Fierstein, Jeff Goldblum, Andrea Martin, Marsha Mason, Rue McClanahan, Bebe Neuwirth, David Hyde Pierce, Jeffrey Tambor and Bruce Vilanch (who was Husky House's celebrity du jour ;D). PS ~ Michelle, I told you you should have come :P !! Here are the dogs we brought, Cinnamon [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/Lokipup/bb7.jpg[/img] Smokie [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/Lokipup/bb5.jpg[/img] And my girl Marinna [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/Lokipup/bb3.jpg[/img] Me, being interviewed by Animal Planet [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/Lokipup/bb2.jpg[/img] And Smokie getting his airtime in :)!!

[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/Lokipup/bb4.jpg[/img] It's finally showtime! Bruce Vilanch did a great job into'ing us, he was hilarious! And Marinna performed like a trooper, giving me Husky hugs when asked! [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/Lokipup/BB1.jpg[/img] Jeff Goldblum is ENORMOUS in person, I knew he was a big guy, but seeing him in a movie doesn't do him justice :o ! [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/Lokipup/bb8.jpg[/img] Kisses for a job well done.... [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/Lokipup/bb10.jpg[/img] ....and a well deserved rest too! [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/Lokipup/bb11.jpg[/img] Would you believe we only made 14 dollars in the donation jar??!! Thank god we get a check from the event itself, otherwise we would lose money going to this event! All in all, a good day, but I'm glad it's over so I can take a break for a few weeks.

JackieMaya Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I've seen Animal Planet's coverage of that event before. That's so cool. I can't believe you didn't get more in the donation jar! If I lived in NY, I sure would have been there! Thanks for the pictures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lokipups Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 Marinna is going to her new home hopefully next week, which is always a good thing! We were all stumped about the donations, every rescue group that was there said the same thing :-? , go figure. But it's all good, the Broadway Cares group gave us a check for $2200 from the auction, whooohooo :multi: ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
