Fun Day

Hines Park (Cass Benton area) in Northville Michigan

Fun Day is being held on Saturday, June 3, 2017 at Hines Park (Cass Benton area) in Northville, Michigan. Everyone who has adopted from us in the past or is thinking about it in the future or just has a Dane is invited to join us. Danes are very welcome, must be kept on leash and hopefully behave themselves.

For those from out of town we have a block of rooms booked at the Red Roof Inn in Plymouth MI. Danes are welcome to stay there as well, but please pick up after your dogs and don't allow excessive barking etc. Dogs should not be left unattended in the room. To book your room as part of the Great Dane Rescue room block, please book before May 14:

Some of us arrive on the Friday evening before Fun Day and partake in Joyce's Margarita Bar in the parking lot. It's lots of fun so please come by for a drink.

On Fun Day, we all head out to the park for about 10 am. We have games you can sign up for, raffles you can buy tickets for and stuff for sale and then there's the free LUNCH!!! It's always a good time. Make sure you bring your lawn chairs or a big blanket to hang out on.
