We have created a very special T-shirt for our first annual Grapehounds-Virginia
event. We started with a 100% cotton pre-shrunk Hanes Beefy T-shirt, and
added some classy artwork by Scott Blaney. These shirts put Virginia on
the map - literally - as the home of a major greyhound event. Anyone who
loves Virginia and greyhounds can wear this Grapehounds-Virginia shirt with
pride! These shirts can be ordered at an unbelievable pre-event price of
$12 from any of the nine participating sponsor groups listed below. Check out
the front and back (click image for larger view) of this shirt and get ready
to be very cool in your new Grapehound Wine Tour-Virginia shirt!
