I've just found out that Charlene will be turning over the BBQ to Saga for Sunday so all proceeds from the BBQ will be going to Saga. Time for the BBQ will be the same as if it was been run by Charlene. Good idea for advance tickets on the BBQ but I don't know what the charge will be yet, as soon as I know I'll post.

Tickets for the raffle are $2 each or 3 for $5. A great deal considering the prizes they have and are adding all the time.
Do we buy the raffle tickets now or at the event?

That is an extraordinary donation by Charlene and BC's Bar. Just another great reason to patronize that fun watering hole.

BEST barbeque in town, hands down.

Be there sunday! Sorry some of you guys can't make it, hopefully the bloggers will be out enforce to post reports the next day.

You can buy tickets right now at Saga, Pampered Paws and Caye Management or you can buy at the event itself.

Haven't seen that many people at BC's in 2 years! The dogs and there were ALOT OF THEM! had a great time and hopefully SAGA raised a bunch of money - it was just great to see so many come out and support them! They've done so much for the animals on the island and KUDOS to all the volunteers that helped with this fundraiser, cuz they were busy!!! I'm sure someone will post some pics, Muttley as a shark was great! So Simon, how much $$ did ya'll raise???? One of the more amusing moments was when they drew the winning ticket for a pizza at Pirates Pizza...Pedro1 won a free pizza. What kind of pizza are ya gonna have Peter????
Posted By: SimonB Re: SAGA at bc's on Sunday - 10/29/07 03:12 AM
A huge thank you to all of the donors and volunteers! In 2 years? I can't remember that many people at BC's in any of my days, there was virtually no parking left for the event!

The total raised was close to $5300.00 and there is no way it could have been done without the efforts of the volunteers and those who donated raffle prizes, food, manpower and funds to Saga. You guys are the BEST! I'm sure Blogs and pictures will be up ASAP.

I need sleep!

I think it should be called THE SPIRIT OF SAN PEDRO!
The place was packed from the bar to the water and the mix was wonderful. I don't know anyplace else on earth where you could participate in something like this.
There were no dog fights, no cat fights and I don't think any bar room brawls.
The costumes were so creative. I can hardly wait to see the pictures. A big THANK YOU to everyone.
I would love to see a head and nose (or should I say tail) count.

I'm so happy for SAGA. I know this will be a great help to them. Wish we were there, but our thoughts were with everyone who attended.

Maya took them Bill. I am particularly partial to the turtle in a hula skirt. I found that the slideshow function showed the pics off the best for me.
