First time attendees, singles, couples, anyone looking to say
"Hello" to new friends and greyt greyhound folks, please come to our
wine tasting and welcome event at Knapp Winery on the west shore of the
lake during the dinner hour. Enjoy some hors d'oeurves, have a glass of
Knapp's best wine and hang out for a while. The event organizers will
be there to give a brief presentation of the weekend at-hand, answer
your questions and say "Hello." This event is in response to folks who
said they wanted a chance to come together in one place and meet new
greyhound folks from all over.

free with your weekend wine tasting pass; there is a charge for wine
by the glass.]

Walk to the Falls - A hound walk to Taughannock Falls begins at Taughannock
Falls State park right about
9 AM. This year we will offer two hound walks: a short walk to the base of
the Falls (same as years past) or a longer walk along the Rim Trail to the top
of the gorge above the Falls for those who are more adventurous.
-
There will be an ice cream social for the hounds put
on by Gorges Greyhound Adoption of Ithaca when they return to the
parking area after the hound walk.
- Americana Vineyards, just north of Taughannock Falls,
offers a buffet breakfast for the intrepid hikers.
- Wine tasting reconvenes at all wineries from noon until
5PM.
- Greyhound vendors will be selling coats, collars,
T-shirts and more at most wineries.
-
At 4 PM a free concert kicks off at Americana for your late-afternoon
enjoyment. All the more reason to kick back, taste some wine, enjoy the music
and plan to stay through Monday!
