If you would like to contribute to Garett's fund for the wolves for NEXT year's Moonridge Celebrity Event, contact Shar at MelSharon@aol.com. Let's see if we can improve on this year's contribution. It's for the animals! Thank you.

If you were unable to attend the event this year, or did, and just want some lovely souvenirs, professional photographers Robert R. Fletcher and Terry Eutsler took many stunning pictures which are available for sale online. Visit http://www.proeventlab.com, and enter the following: User ID: fletcher Password: moonridge. And here's the sweet news--HALF the proceeds from the sale of these pictures goes directly to Moonridge to assist in their efforts to move to a more spacious location. So, please, everyone, go take a look! (The website now supports all browsers.)

Autographs

My Ty Beanie Kid version of Blair was kindly autographed by a bemused Garett ("Do I really look like that?" and "Should I sign his little ass?") The doll currently sports glasses, the earrings, a necklace and bracelet, and carries a backpack with a carved crystal wolf totem. To view more pictures of little Blair and his friend Jimmy, click the picture of the doll. Included are instructions on how to make your own Beanie Sentinel and Guide.



Last year, Shar took this gorgeous head shot of Garett, and I asked her permission to chart and stitch it. Four months later, I had a lovely stitched picture that lacked only the autograph. Garett's reaction, after (hopefully) admiring the piece was: "You want me to SIGN this?" After signing, he looked at it some more, commenting, "My mother does this. I get a pillow every year."



I got other autographs as well, but mostly on my shirt: Gordon Cooper, Richard Karn, Deanna Lund, Cheryl Holdridge, Connie ("Unconditional Love" song), and Merrie Lynn Ross.

Just a word about Moonridge Animal Park, to clarify for those who do not know: Moonridge is not a zoo in the typical sense. Every animal in the Park has been rescued from the wild as either sick or injured. Moonridge rehabilitates the animals and then cares for them, as they are unable, by their injuries, to be returned to the wild.
