By GEOFF JOHNSON DN Staff Writer Where did Saturday’s Cinco de Mayo celebration end, and the Home and Garden Show begin? The Tehama County Fairgrounds were packed Saturday with six different events, including the Fiber on the Foot Sniffing out a cure for cancer By GEOFF JOHNSON DN staff Writer Joggers, equestrians and canines. Tehama County’s beef with cancer has proven too big for just one major fundraiser a year. Horses had their chance in April with Ride For Life and Saturday, for the second year in a row, dogs had their day. Early counts put the pack at some 75 tails in Dog Island Park, includ- ing every breed from Burmese mountain to greyhounds. “I’m seeing breeds I’ve never seen before,” event co-Chairwoman Katie Lee said. It was a unique oppor- tunity for Danielle Massie, a Safe Education and Rural Recreation for Families employee. Nor- mally, Massie said she has to travel all the way to Redding or Chico to find a comparable canine gathering to socialize her German shepherd Baron, and Nika, her schipperke.

Darlene Lee, Katie’s mother, said the walk was a natural fit in sever- al ways. For some cancer survivors taking a lap, talk about their treatment still brings up emotional scars.

In fact, while humans may reap the long-term benefits from the event, there were plenty of booths to ensure pets had a dog-gone good time, including a dog manicur- ing booth, custom collars and plenty of treats. For one chocolate Lab, a 10- to 12-week- old pup, it made a world of difference. A stray picked up by the Tehama County Animal Shelter, she was one of about a dozen in the park for adoption. She went home with Robin Bline, a Lassen Medical Group employ- ee, whose company just happened to have a booth at the event. Bline did not plan to adopt a dog, but meeting the Lab changed that. “I looked at her, and loved her right then,” Bline said.
