Take In Goldzilla—a Good Cause, a Great Day, and a Gigantic Outdoor Dog Event [1]

Retrieve a Golden of the Midwest (RAGOM) invites all dogs to attend one of the biggest Golden Retriever events ever.

On behalf of Golden Retrievers and Golden mixes in the RAGOM community, we offer a truly unique day for all breeds of every shape and size to share a day tailored for their enjoyment, such as:

Paw prints painting
K9 Nose Work® demonstrations
Photo contest
Lure course
Doggie lotto
Agility
Beach swimming
RAGOM reunions
Vender village
Wine pull

The dog’s family can also peruse the vendor village for merchandise, bid on silent auction items, score a bottle of good wine in the wine pull, and enjoy food from local food trucks. Everyone can participate in the Walk for Rescue where money raised supports our mission of rescuing, fostering, and finding forever homes for Golden Retrievers and Golden mixes.

Opportunity

A photo and video opportunity of more than 600 golden retrievers and all types of dogs romping in the park. Media can interview rescue volunteers who can tell stories of rescues and new life with loving families. Media will receive an update on the Goldens rescued this past year from Turkey.

The event will also recognize more than 450 volunteers who support RAGOM and who have rescued 150 Goldens and mixes thus far in 2018.
