Sat 24th Nov: Peak to Fong Eve

Peak to Fong 2018 
I just realised as I was typing the subject header that Peak to Fong takes place exactly one calendar month before Christmas, making today Peak to Fong Eve.    For those of you who have been hiding from Facebook or my blog for a while, Peak to Fong is Hong Kong's biggest and only Sponsored Dog Walk plus Street Party, and it's the best fun you can have with the whole family AND your dogs of course.

Preparations are already underway in Lan Kwai Fong, Central, but the event itself starts at the Peak Galleria with the Sponsored Walk beginning at 11.30am (there was a requested thirty minute delay from the original time of 11am from the police).   Please be sure to be wearing your Peak to Fong 2018 T-shirts so we can see who's who in the crowds up there, and wear sensible walking shoes for the downhill walk which can be steep in parts.   Keep your dogs on leashes and please. make sure you clean up if your dog has to pee or poo.  It's part of being a responsible dog owner and is important if we want to make headway in having dogs accepted as part of Hong Kong society.

Live music all afternoon by Jack Rabbit Slim and Atlantis Philharmonic
Once we reach Lan Kwai Fong you'll hear the music as the live bands are there all afternoon to keep you entertained.  Stop and have a dance if you want, don't be shy, because the afternoon is all about having fun and raising loads of money for HKDR and the dogs.

Funnyman Jami Gong is your host for the day, and we'll be organising some games for the dogs during the afternoon so please listen out for the announcements.

Thanks to all of you who supported by buying tickets, and to our amazing and generous sponsors especially Title Sponsor Brabanconne and Mickco Chan for designing the T-shirts.  You can also buy signed copies of Mickco's just-released book, The Story of Nei Nei, which is the true-life story of his dog Minnie and her adoption from HKDR.

See you all there!
