On Sunday 3rd July Gill & Mark headed off to Walmer Bridge in Preston for the annual North West Labrador Fun day. Alice, Coral, Megan and of course Reuben our chocolate Lab, came along too !
We took with us around 200 pies (All freshly baked by Mark that morning) to be sold to help raise funds for this much needed rescue. Which is based in Eccleston, In Chorley.
It was a beautiful sunny day and lots of people were there from all over the U.K with their dogs (mainly Labrador's of course !) The day was a huge success as a wonderful amount of money was raised. We have had some great feedback from some of the people who went there - as it seems our pies went down on absolute storm !! http://www.homealabrador.net/ We are already looking forward to next year !
