February fundraiser Winslow prize package winner

Our February fund raising efforts culminated with two events.

First was our All You Can Eat Pancake breakfast at Up the Creek Fish Camp and Grill, which raised $2,600.

Secondly, we drew the winning ticket for the Winslow Prize Pack. But it was not without some last-minute drama!

I forgot that I usually have another pair of hands available when we pick the winning ticket. I was trying to juggle the huge bowl, the dogs, the peanut butter and my camera. It didn't go well.

There is peanut butter all over the kitchen, the camera and me. The dogs managed to lick it all off each other!

 Jerry and Alex were not really into the spirit of ticket drawing ... they just wanted the peanut butter. 

By the time we actually got Jerry to get a ticket stuck to his nose, it was pretty messy.

And then imagine my surprise when I went to get my list of numbers and found the winner was none other than Craig DeYong, Winslow's dad.

After a quick call to Craig, he admitted that all he wanted was the crocheted likeness of his boy. He says he has Winslow paintings all over the house and asked that we pick another ticket for the Winslow painting. (Thanks, Craig!!)

I'm proud to announce the winner of the wonderful Winslow painting is Seglinda Marlin of Jacksonville! Congratulations, Seglinda!!!

Thank you to everyone who showed their support of Greyhound Adoptions of Florida and made our February fundraiser a success.Your generosity has given us the ability to help yet another special greyhound here at Grey Haven.

Now 'scuse me while I go wipe the peanut butter off the floor.

Too funny Marilyn! Your recounting of the last minute raffle ticket draw drama was hysterical! Congratulations Seglinda.

I forgot to say "greyt job" to Jerry Murray and Alex. And thanks for posting the photos. It's almost like we were right there with you. If only we were to help with all the clean-up. Dasch & Dale would have been more than happy to remove peanut butter from any and all surfaces!

I came home from a party to find Craig having his own party with Winslow. He was so excited about winning the raffle! Now, I have to come to Florida to pick up the famous "Crocheted WInslow" and take him to Sandy Paws!

Congratulations to our winners! Now if we can get Seglinda and Glynnis together at Sandy Paws for some pictures (and big time celebrating!), that would be so cool!

I found peanut butter on my pillow case this morning. Thanks, Jerry!

Why do none of the antics there surprise me ~ in fact they seem so very very normal, if I remember the source. Only addition in my mind is Luke opening the pantry to get you the peanut butter.

Congrats, Seglinda! And I can't think of a better family for Pixie Winslow than... Winslow! (and Glynis and Craig, of course) Can't wait to see photos of Winslow meeting his alter-ego. For once, I think he might be speechless!
