Ever wonder what a gaggle of Golden Retrievers diving for 100 tennis balls looks like? Well find out at the New England Golden Jubilee! Mark your calendars because on May 18, 2019 Golden Retrievers from throughout New England and beyond will be partying at the 5th Annual New England Golden Jubilee!
Golden Retrievers will be gathering at Dog Mountain in St. Johnsbury, Vermont with a purpose; to support the critical research of the Morris Foundation Golden Retriever Lifetime Study, to honor the important mission of Yankee Golden Retriever Rescue, to remember special Golden angels, and to celebrate what it means to be a Golden Retriever! According to the organizers of the New England Golden Jubilee, Sandra 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!”
The day will be filled with games, swimming, hiking, 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 missed family and friends who crossed Rainbow Bridge, as well as honor this year’s Tears of Joy recipient. Oh and be sure to buy your raffle tickets for the Kibble Cup Auction to benefit Yankee Golden Retriever Rescue!
Each registered dog who attends will receive a gift bag of goodies and a special New England Golden Jubilee bandana. Also you can proudly show your support for this great event by purchasing in advance limited edition New England Golden Jubilee Apparel, featuring the new 5th anniversary logo! $5 from every purchase will be donated to the Morris Foundation Golden Retriever Lifetime Study. In short, the New England Golden Jubilee is pure Golden bliss, all for a good cause! Need more convincing? Then read our post written after attending our first Jubilee in 2017. It truly is a day filled with Golden Moments and Mischief!
