Mark your calendars because on May 20, 2017 Golden Retrievers from throughout New England and beyond will be partying at the 3rd Annual New England Golden Jubilee!  This day long celebration of Golden Retrievers and the Morris Foundation Golden Retriever Lifetime Study will be taking place at Dog Mountain in St. Johnsbury, Vermont.  According to the organizers of the New England Golden Jubilee, Sandy and Peter Lok, “The mere presence of a Golden Retriever, their soft fur, wide smiles and soulful eyes, helps to enrich our lives.  The New England Golden Jubilee is about helping to enrich the lives of these beloved beings.  We’ll celebrate their very presence and indulge their playful spirits with pure Golden Fun!  …Through this event and all Golden Jubilees, everywhere, we will promote and help sustain support for the Morris Foundation Golden Retriever Lifetime Study.  The results of the study will help our Goldens and all dogs live a longer, healthier life.  It’s our mission, and it comes at no cost.”

The day will be filled with hikes, games, swimming, blessing of the animals, food, doggie dancing…and endless games of fetch!  Goldens will also gather in front of Dog Chapel to pay tribute to their dearly departed family and friends, by lighting a memory candle and viewing a Rainbow Bridge memorial video.  Oh and be sure to place a bid at the Kibble Cup Auction to benefit Yankee Golden Retriever Rescue!  Each dog who attends will receive a New England Golden Jubilee bandanna and a gift bag of goodies.  Also if you order by April 25, you can proudly show your support for this great event with limited edition t-shirts, hats and sweatshirts with New England Golden Jubilee Apparel!  $5 from every purchase will be donated to the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study/Morris Foundation Canine Lifetime Health Project.
