Hilton Hotel....Octoberfest!!!! Concord, Ca.

October fest!!!! The Hilton Hotel in Concord Ca. put on an October fest fundraiser for Safe Haven Horses Rescue! They are all ready planning one for next year for Safe Haven! We are so looking forward to that! We all had so much fun & were helping the horses! Safe Haven took this opportunity to give recognition to a wonderful group of supporters called Fans of Barbaro......they have given much to help us help horses! This board reflects their 'mission' statement & their reason for forming the FOB's.......& their love for Barbaro! Pictured on the board are some of the horses they have helped at Safe Haven. Delta Dawn, Josh, Drifter, Barbie, & Charley are featured on this board. The 'ROCKIN" FOB's' are always willing to lend a helping hand for any type of horse! Thank You All! This is Jess, in the blue, & she is the driving force behind this fundraiser! She has also adopted 5 of Safe Haven's horses!!! She is quite the gal. She & all her friends worked the dinner for Safe Haven. Thank You to all of you too!!!

The patio was set up so nicely, tables to eat at, balloons, lanterns, & lot's of choices of beer to sample!!!!!

Mr. & Mrs. Madrical were there to help out too! Dave & Cori, with Samantha & Melissa drove down to the dinner also. Cori worked very hard to present a very nice slide show of Safe Haven horses & made the info/raffle table just perfect!

Judy M. is checking out all the items on the table. Safe Haven also brought a board on the Hind Foundation, which is hanging on the wall here, the full pic of it is on Cori's camera, & we still have to process those. Lisa L. contacted the Hind Foundation, did all the paperwork w/ Linda R. & Safe Haven was awarded their first grant! The monies were for safe enclosures for the horses! Thank You, Mr. & Mrs. Hind!

These two pretty girls did a wonderful job.......they were explaining all about the beer we were sampling at their table.

OK this ham had to get in on the pics too! that's me, Linda C.The Hilton Hotel, had live music for all the festivities too! They played a wide variety of music & were very good.

Everybody gave Safe Haven so much support, they bought raffle tickets, bid on the silent auction, & paid a cover charge for the October fest!!!! Lot's of support! Thank You All!

Jess, & her pal 'manned' the silent auction table & had saddles to jewelry to bid on! Good Job!Safe Haven met a very nice gentleman, at the dinner, he was very supportive of the horses. Michan is helping Linda R. announce the winner's of the silent auction & the raffles! Thank You Michan! You rock!


Michan, & his banker Johnnie, won a bunch of the gifts offered at the dinner & most of the ones Michan won he donated back to Safe Haven!!!! Thank You Michan! I had a wonderful time trying to out bid Michan on some of the items........I'd write done a bid..he'd start fussing ......& then he would add a bigger bid!!! We went around the table a couple of times.....he was so much fun!!

Johnnie from the US Bank, won a few things too!

This couple won at the silent auction too! & they bought raffle tickets too! Thank You for the support! This lucky gal won two head stalls for her horses!!! I think it's safe to say...she's a happy camper!



A pair of reins were won by this gal! She looks happy too!!!

Safe Haven Horse Rescue would like for you all to know just how much your support means to us. We are totally a donation supported rescue & appreciate the love & support you all send to the horses! SO,WITH ALL THE LOVE FROM THE BOTTOMS OF OUR HEARTS, WE THANK YOU ALL!
