Greyhounds Reach The Beach 2012
.
Greyhounds Reach the Beach started in 1994 when 3 couples wanted to “find a fun place to go with [their] dogs” and got together for a weekend get-away. From that simple start, the event continued to grow year after year. Last year was our first year attending the event and I am told that currently, it is much smaller and more loosely organized than in the past. So what is at Dewey Beach…
All manner of greyhound merchandise is available.
Vendors sell out of their hotels or condos, a few in rented storefronts and some at the fire station.
There are a few organized get-togethers.
For instance, an ice cream social.
The last day was a little rainy, but don’t worry…greyhounds have wardrobes.
Daily Inspiration
Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.
Oh what we wouldn’t give to be able to attend! Deccy x
Deccy…You would be such a celebrity, I fear you would be mobbed.
I remember when Dewey was a well-organized event when it was the only game in town. Now we have so many choices for greyhound events along the East Coast. You mentioned Grapehounds. We’ve been to Grapehound NY several times, and loved it. We go to Grapehounds VA too since it’s in our home state. Both are fun since it’s wine and greyhounds. Maybe we’ll see you at either or both 🙂
I hope to make it to Dewey one day. It looks like so much fun.
Have to go along with Nephew (Declan) on this. Polly and I would love to have been there.
What fun! Dewey Beach is a great place to bring the dogs.
Even though I’m a Dachshund. it’d be so cool to go there!

Nola…We saw several Dachshunds! You could start a new event Dachshunds At Dewey.
Just look at all those Greyhounds, what a wonderful event.
Loving the raincoats!

I really hope that we can go next year! I always love visiting Dewey, and Bunny agrees about the wardrobe. She says the orange and yellow rain coats are quite cute!
How cool is that! I love the raincoats! 🙂
