Levriers en Detresse - Summer Gathering -  14th July 2007

On 14 july (French national day), Levriers en Detresse, ALED77 and the Club Lévriers Champagne Ardenne will organize together their second gathering in the French village Laferté sur Amance, near Langres (one of the most beautiful French towns) in Ardenne County, on the marvellous site called "Bois Tarlot".

This gathering will associate two French Greyhound rescues and a non profit French Sporting Greyhound club around their common love of Greyhounds.  

Number of animations for all and for all hounds are at the program, and this great day will be followed by a BBQ and a dance in the evening.

On the Saturday morning, we will open festivities by a big parade with national hymns: each participant wearing the colours of his hound.

Various activities for hounds of all ages : "competitions" are opened to all.
