Tail Bangers donated the most gorgeous dog cookies!

Tails on the Trails on November 7, 2009 had a great turnout on a perfectly beautiful day at Cape Henlopen Park. The 1 mile run/walk and the 5k race brought out many couples, families with children, and dogs, as well as individual runners. A few Tails on the Trails photos are shown below.

The 5k Race winners received wooden dogs and bones engraved with the categories in which they won and beautifully decorated Tail Banger dog cookies.

The race tee shirts with the running dog design by popular local artist Andrew Criss were a huge hit. People lined up to meet Mr. Criss and have him sign their shirts.

After the runs, dozens of dogs participated in the Funny Dog Contest and Costume Parade. Andrew Criss and George Coscia, Safe Haven Board of Directors, were faced with many tough choices in judging the contestants in categories such as Best Kisser and Best Lapdog Over 75 Pounds. Winning dogs received gift bags from P.U.P.S. of Lewes, dog toys, and gift certificates. Every dog got a Safe Haven bandana, "Champion" ribbon, and a bag of delicious dog cookies donated by Tail Bangers.
