Christmas Parade &
Holiday Brunch
Nov 27th
|
Newf
Neighborhood was in its fourth year participating in the annual Christmas Parade.
50 degrees and pure sunshine was just the beginning of a
fun-filled day for everyone. What perfect weather considering the
forecast was cooler temps and rain! Newfs were decorated with swags of
garland, wreaths surrounded the furry faces, and antlers adorned many newf-tops.
Following the parade the route ended at the Sheraton Downtown where we all
had a chance to relax after the march. Huge bowls of ice were brought
in for our furry friends to not only eat, but to lay their heads in and
splatter all over the place! We all stuffed our merry bellies with
steak to fish sandwiches and a scrumptious bread bowl of chili. Thanx
Tina & Jim for great photos!

Wooly Bear
Parade & Festival
Vermilion
Sept. 19th
Thanx
Tina & Jim for great photos!

Newf
Neighborhood was in its third year participating in the Woollybear
Parade. 70 degrees and pure sunshine was just the beginning of a
fun-filled day for everyone. The wise ol’ woollybear descends upon
Vermilion for the largest single-day festival in Ohio! Thousands come from
far and wide to help Dick Goddard salute the fuzzy caterpillar, whose
stripes indicate the severity of the coming winter. Woollybear look-alike
contests for kids as well as pets, Woollybear races, and of course, the
Grand Parade, are just some of the highlights of this special day. The
crowds drawn to this are estimated to be somewhere over 100,000! And
it gets promoted by Cleveland meteorologist Dick Goddard throughout the year
on WJW-TV 8. The best way he can explain its popularity is this:
"It's just a bunch of good people that get together for one last fling
before the snow flies." Newf Neighborhood got a trophy!!!!
This beautiful trophy will be on display at all our events!

Pet
Palooza
Twinsburg
May 16th
|
We got
rained out for Saturday, but Sunday turned out to be a nice sunny day.
Paws and ears were trimmed, mats disappeared, and prizes were won for
several contests.
We raised
$90 for rescue as well. The Newf Cookies once again were a great
hit!!

St.
Patrick's Day Parade
Cleveland
Mar 17th
|
Well at least
it wasn't cancelled. The previous day's weather gave us a blizzard
that put almost a foot of snow on the ground <vbg>. But we did
have large snowflakes, a big difference from the 70 degrees at last year's
parade! Our newfies were a big hit with the cameras from several
television stations. Did you know this is the 3rd largest parade
in the country only to follow the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and the
Rose Bowl Parade, now that's something to write home about!

Ice
Festival
Chagrin Falls
Feb '04
|
A little chilly, but we
certainly had a grand time and a nice turnout of newfies. I just
couldn't BELIEVE when I saw Cheryl and Jim walking up with these 2 GIANTS.
I swear they rented a couple newfs for the day trying to pass them off as
Archie and Roxie. OMG, Archie is only 10 months old and has gotta
weight 170 lbs, no exagerating!!!!!! He's gonna be a BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG
BOY (lol). I can't believe this past July they were in my arms <vbg>. And
Tuc, the pup of the day. What a Q-T!!! When all the newfs
saw a husky approaching, Wooley started the alert, then with Zeus and Dino
chiming in, Starbuck's was a rockin'. Then all were quiet, and 11 week
old Tuc peaks his head around Zeus, looks at the husky, tilts his head then
starts woo-wooing!!!! LMBO... He's a fast learner! People were
approaching us all day with the usual, How Cute, How Big, How much do they
eat, yadda yadda yadda. But the best was a woman who asked if the
Landseers were a purebreed, when I replied yes, she marked (with a straight
face), "So, they're mixed with Sheep"? I swear my bladder
did not hold up at that comment!!!! I fell asleep later that night
still laughing at that comment. The second best memory of the day was
a woman commenting on Dino being Josh's cousin (shows ya just how much she
knows about newfs <vbg>), just when I was explaining how much hair and
care Newfs need, Pebbles shakes her head with 2 foot long shoe strings and
there flies the drool on the woman's sleeve. LOL, she didn't care to
hear much more about the breed after that one (way to go Pebs!). Iit was
great to meet some newcomers and see long-time neighbors break away from the
season's hybernation.
