 This weekend is a busy one for GALT with the North Texas Irish Festival in town at Fair Park! Come out and support the hounds by bringing yours for a visit. This is an event that does not disappoint! This year the theme is Erin go Bark! That's right - the whole festival is dog themed this year to promote the Celtic canine!
The Irish Festival is a greyt way to promote the greyhound breed to the public, and what hound doesn't enjoy being fawned over? In addition to the music, food and fun environment, you can also pick up a Silk Roads collar for your greyhound, available only at the GALT booth!
Volunteers will be on hand but everyone is welcome to attend!
Saturday, March 1 and
Sunday, March 2 from 11am-5pm
Fair Park
Centennial Hall (Building 13)
Please remember Fair Park does have a leash policy and all dogs must be on one.
