Summer Music & Wine Festival - Humane Society of Silicon Valley

Aug 1, 2010 · 1:00 PM
Humane Society Silicon Valley

This seems like a fun event for South Bay folk and those close to the South Bay. You can bring your Golden, donate to the Humane Society of Silicon Valley and enjoy some tasty wines and beers (for the amount of your donation) along with local music. Jason and I will be participating in Bay to Barkers earlier in the day in Berkeley (raising money for the Berkeley Humane Society), so we may not arrive at 1pm, but if enough people RSVP, perhaps we can pick a time to enjoy this as a group. Feel free to email or message me with questions!

After experiencing this event, I don't think I would recommend it again to our group. It felt very disorganized, and somewhat "elitist" - which I guess should be expected from a location that houses a members-only dog park. Granted, there were freebies from Petco for our pooch, but anytime we wanted to go inside a building, we were told we could not bring Lily with us. She had to be left with a "Doggie Valet" - which was a free service under a tent where other people held your dog's leash while you checked things out. We didn't care for that at all, so we did not get to see any of their indoor facilities. It would've been helpful if that information was on their website, or if they had posted signs saying so on the buildings, but after you wait in line for 15 minutes to enter a building, just to be told you have to go back to the Valet to drop off your dog, it really bothered us.
There were several vendors for wine, which was nice, though their "ticket" system needs work.

I just missed the fun. I was so tied up with some errands I had to finish and by the time I finished it was already 3pm. I did not want to come late for the meeting. May be next time. So sorry Les. Thank you for your invitation. I will try to be there next time.
