<br />NewfStock 2020 which was planned for September of this year has been cancelled due to Covid-19. <br /><br />We realize this will come as a huge disappointment to many of our supporters, but with the unpredictability of how our province will be functioning come September, and the devastating financial impact many of our supporters are experiencing as a result of job interruption, we feel this is the best option.<br /><br />If you have booked a room, please call the hotel to cancel.<br /><br />We will reschedule NewfStock for 2022. The Newf Club of Canada will be holding its Speciality in Ontario in 2021 and we do not run NewfStock on years the Speciality is held in this province.West Windhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05989310279567877489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-522850463569991222.post-42017895440708857042020-01-05T09:46:00.002-05:002020-01-07T08:38:30.437-05:00Newfstock 2020<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There were a few hairy moments on Friday, and I'm not just talking about the dogs. With storms and tornados whipping through the province many attendees travelled through rough conditions to get to Bancroft to discover no power, heavy rains, and high winds throughout the town. Newf lovers are a tough and hardy bunch and everyone made the best of it!</div>

Saturday morning arrived quickly and volunteers in surrounding areas were still without power. They loaded the vehicles up with the help of flashlights on a very early start. I need to give extra high praise to Erica from <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://ferghusandcompany.ca/index.html&source=gmail&ust=1537960717047000&usg=AFQjCNEogXsL-tgk4q8bRfBecBaw5O1DgQ" href="http://ferghusandcompany.ca/index.html" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Ferghus and Company</a> who survived a frightening experience on Friday evening. A tornado whipped through her community, bringing a tree down on her car (which she was in!), and sending barns flying overhead into her yard. We are so glad that Erica, her family and neighbours all survived unscathed. Being the dedicated, hard-working, and amazing person that she is, she picked herself up, cleaned herself off, loaded up a vehicle and got to NewfStock with a smile on her face and did an incredible job of running our entire game centre. More about the games later... but suffice to say, Erica wins VOLUNTEER OF THE EVENT for her incredible dedication!

Our morning at the park started extra early with an army of volunteers working like a fine-oiled machine to put up tents, set up booths and get everything ready for the day. Power was still out at the park, but was miraculously restored JUST IN TIME for the band to do their soundcheck and kick off the event! Phew! With clear skies in the forecast, we knew we were in for a fabulous day!<br />

The day began with our awesome MCs Ashleigh (you may have recognized her from TV shows like the Marilyn Denis show, CityLine, and more) and of course, the always hilarious Mike cracking up the crowd and getting everyone ready for our big day. They kept the event running on schedule all day long, ran contests, helped with the games, made everyone laugh during the raffle, and as usual did an amazing job of running the show! Thanks to both of them!<br />

Our <i>Meet the Newfs</i> booth was a busy spot, with various Newfs adopted from our program (and their owners) dropping by to greet attendees and share their stories. It was heartwarming to look back over the last 10 years and reminisce about the nearly 300 Newfoundland Dogs who have come through our foster program. </div>

Many attendees collected pledges in support of Newf Friends, and the top two pledge collectors received some special gifts. The gift (a gorgeous leather backpack donated by Roots Canada) for the people who brought in the most pledges was given to Marissa and Dave who raised a phenomenal $6232! Simply amazing, thank you both!<br />

We wrapped the day up with our team of volunteers up on stage for a round of applause for doing such a tremendous job. What a fabulous team, it's an honour to be part of such a dedicated, kind-hearted, fun-loving group of people who give of themselves so freely. Thank you to each of you for all you do. Newf Friends is so lucky to have such an incredible team.<br />

New this year, we featured a Working Dogs booth and a Healthy Newf booth. Volunteers answered questions about working dog activities including draft work, water rescue, therapy work, scent detection and more. Information about the <a href="http://www.newfoundlanddogclub.ca/index.html" target="_blank">National</a> and <a href="http://www.newfoundlanddogclub.ca/ndcc-executive--regional-clubs.html" target="_blank">Regional</a> Newf Clubs was shared to encourage participants to join their area club and get involved in working activities with their Newfs. Seminars were offered on nutrition and skin health, and loads of free product samples were given to attendees.<br />

The Meet the Newfs booth was a popular spot for everyone to stop by and meet some of the Newfs who have come through our program. There was an extra large crowd when Colin and George arrived to sign copies of <a href="http://www.freedayswithgeorge.com/" target="_blank"><i>Free Days with George</i></a>. George was adopted through Newf Friends and is now a famous surfing dog and subject of Colin's National Best Selling book. Talk about happy endings!<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #222222;">We’re kicking off the day with an all breed parade around Millennium Park, led by rescue dogs. We encourage all attendees to join in the parade either with or without a dog, and show your support of rescue. What a sight this will be, over 100 Newfs plus loads of Newf wannabees parading around the park! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #222222;">We’re asking attendees to collect pledges for those participating in the Parade to bring in much needed dollars to help us meet the needs of Newfs over the coming months. Every dollar helps so whether you collect $25 or $2500 your support is greatly appreciated! </span><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><b>We have a special prize for the person who collects the most pledges! </b></span></span><span style="color: #222222;"> </span><span style="color: #222222;">In 2014 the prize for collecting the most pledges went to the Bergsma family who brought in $3200! Wowzers! Maybe you will be this year's winner? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #222222;">It couldn't be easier to participate -- we’ve arranged two simple ways you can collect pledges. </span><br />

Visitors came from near and far. The prize for the person who traveled the farthest went to Hannah Warren who drove up from Maine to join in on the fun! Hannah arrived on Thursday and helped with a bunch of the prep for NewfStock and brought some fabulous donations from her <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Eden-Valley-Bakers/112912728722289" target="_blank">bakery</a>. Visitors also joined us from New Jersey, Connecticut, Quebec and all across Ontario from the South Western part of the province up to Sault St Marie.<br />
<br />
All of our visitors were generous and supportive, and the merchandise, auction and raffle booths were busy all day long. Thank you to all of our donors who sent AMAZING raffle and auction items. We had stunning artwork, quilts, blankets, gift sets, glasswork, pottery and more. Our custom merchandise will be available for purchase through our online store later this week. <br />
<br />
The rescue parade was wet but cheerful as we were all singing in the rain! The Bergsma family took the prize for bringing in the most pledges, over $3200! Way to go! Thank you to everyone who sponsored our parade!<br />

Great job everyone!<br />

<div>
<div>
Hooray! The big event is just a few days away, we can't wait to see everyone!<br /><div>
<br />You
still have a few days to get out there and collect pledges for
the parade, extra pledge forms can be downloaded from the NewfStock
site. Who will win the prize for collecting the most pledges
this year, maybe you??? <br /></div>
Here are some important things to remember to help you get the most out of your weekend.</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Directions and maps are posted on this site <a href="http://newfstock.blogspot.ca/2014/08/newfstock-2014-info-package.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br /><br />Important times:<br /></div>
<b>Friday:</b></div>
Swim Date Diamond Lake Beach 2 - 330</div>
Tent set up Millennium Park 430 - 6</div>
Pizza party 630 (after tents are up) <br /></div>
<b>Saturday</b></div>
Main event Millennium Park 10am - 5pm (full itinerary will be posted on the website by Wednesday)</div>
Saturday evening social at the Best Western hotel -- outdoors, look for the tent - 730 pm until the wee hours.<br /></div>
<b>Sunday</b></div>
Group hike Vance Park 11 am</div>
Swim date/picnic lunch (bring your own lunch) Diamond Lake 1 pm<br /><div>
<br />Remember to bring a chair to sit on at the main event! <br /><br />Bring
cash to spend at the event -- there will be vendors, our massive
merchandise booth with a bunch of new products, and there will be
amazing penny raffle and silent auction items. <br /></div>
<div>
The
weather forecast is looking pretty good -- cool, but sunny, perfect for
the dogs. Bring some warm clothing - Saturday evening our newf social
will be <b>outdoors</b> at the hotel under a tent so that we can all
have our dogs with us -- the overnight temp is expected to be 3 degrees C
(37 degrees to our US friends) so bring a hat, mitts, warm jacket and scarf. Your newf is
going to be sooooo happy with these cool temps! BYOB. There will be a karaoke
machine, so warm up your vocal cords (and maybe bring some earplugs). LOL!<br /><br />Those of you coming up from south of the border, remember to pack your passport and proof of vaccines for your dog. <br /></div>
Safe travels everyone, we'll see you in a few days!Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-522850463569991222.post-13899000780670468602014-08-22T07:14:00.003-04:002014-08-22T07:14:48.268-04:00Local Businesses - great opportunity!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

NewfStock is just a few weeks away -- Bancroft area businesses, you can promote your business at no cost in our welcome package!<br /> <br />
NewfStock is a huge gathering of supporters of Newf Friends
Newfoundland Dog Rescue (a division of HART) and the 3 day event draws
hundreds of dog lov<span class="text_exposed_show">ers from across Canada and the US. The main event is on Saturday, Sept 13, 2014 in Millennium Park, Bancroft.<br /> <br />
We're putting together welcome packages for attendees, many of whom are
coming from out of town and staying 3 or more days in Bancroft. If
you'd like to offer a coupon or discount for attendees to encourage them
to visit your business while they are in town please drop off your
coupons/vouchers/brochures to Sandra at West Wind Gallery & Gifts by
the end of the month (please bring a minimum of 250 - more if you want
everyone who comes to the park to get one). Welcome packages will be
distributed to all attendees who check in to the hotel and to everyone
who visits the welcome booth at Millennium Park on Sept 13.<br /> <br />
We're also teaming up with one of the organizers of the Hilly Hundred to
encourage local businesses to take advantage of a similar opportunity
for the weekend of October 4th when Hilly Hundred participants will be
in town with their friends and families. If you would like to have your
business included in their welcome package, drop off 75 additional
coupons/vouchers/brochures and we'll have them added to the Hilly
Hundred package.<br /> <br /> We hope to see many local businesses support
these two events which are filling hotels and bringing visitors to our
area, helping to boost the local economy!<br /> <br /> For more info about NewfStock email Newf Friends at <a href="mailto:newf.friends@gmail.com">newf.friends@gmail.com</a><br /> <br /> For more info about the Hilly Hundred visit <a href="http://www.hastingshighlandshillyhundred.ca/" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.hastingshighlandshillyhundred.ca/</a></span><br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-522850463569991222.post-42737693450101794902014-08-17T18:57:00.001-04:002020-02-20T13:17:25.929-05:00NewfStock 2014 Info Package<i><span style="font-size: medium;">NewfStock is Newf
Friend’s biggest fundraiser of the year and the funds raised at this
event are needed to keep our rescue running throughout the whole year.
Thank you for participating in this event!</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-size: medium;">Our goal for NewfStock 2014 is to bring in $25,000
(yes, we're an ambitious group) and a large portion of that will be
coming from pledges, so please start collecting today! Read on the
learn more....</span><br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: #ffcc99; font-size: medium;"><b>Parade Pledges</b></span><br />
<br />
We’re kicking off the day with an all breed parade around Millennium
Park, led by rescue dogs. We encourage all attendees to join in the
parade either with or without a dog (of any breed), and show your support of rescue.
What a sight this is, over 100 Newfs plus loads of Newf wannabees
parading around the park! <br />
<br />
We’re
asking attendees to collect pledges to bring in much needed dollars to help us meet the needs
of Newfs over the coming months. Every dollar helps so whether you
collect $25 or $2500 your support is greatly appreciated! <b>We have a special prize for the person who collects the most pledges! </b> In
2012 the prize for collecting the most pledges went to Allison Sabo. Maybe you will be this
year's winner? <br />
<br />
It couldn't be easier to participate -- we’ve arranged two simple ways you can collect pledges. <br />
<ul>
<li><b>Download & Print a Pledge Sheet</b>.
Collect pledges and bring the money collected and the pledge sheet to
Newfstock. (Newf Friends is a division of HART, a registered charity,
and donations
over $20 will generate a tax receipt. ****Cheques should be payable to
HART with Newf Friends in the memo line.) Here's the link to the
printable pledge form: <a href="http://www.newfstock.ca/pdf/NewfStock_Pledge_form_2014.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.newfstock.ca/pdf/<wbr></wbr>NewfStock_Pledge_form_2014.pdf</a><br />
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Online Pledge Collection</b>. For your convenience, a personalized
online pledge form can be created enabling you to generate pledges from
family and friends around the globe! These online forms enable your
friends to donate online with a click of their mouse, and eliminate the
need for you to collect pledges and bring them with you. So easy! Your
customized page will have any info you want, including your fundraising
goal, a photo of your choice and a message of your choice. Here's the
scoop on how to set up your Giving page: <a href="http://www.newfstock.ca/pdf/Newfstock_Giving_Pages_2014.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.newfstock.ca/pdf/<wbr></wbr>Newfstock_Giving_Pages_2014.<wbr></wbr>pdf</a><br />

NewfStock 2012 was quite simply put, a giant success!<br />
<br />
We brought in $20,000 to go towards the care of Newfoundland Dogs
in need in Ontario. What an incredible and worthwhile event!
Thank you to our fabulous team of dedicated and energetic
volunteers, and the incredible support of our donors and supporters!<br />

NewfStock took months of planning and preparation,<u> </u>and
countless hours of volunteer time. Our volunteers planned and
implemented this event, donated raffle items, raised funds, and
worked so hard to make NewfStock a great weekend.<br />
<br />

<b>The weekend in review:</b><br />
Bancroft was a flurry of activity with Newf lovers out and about
shopping and taking in the area sights on the days leading up to and
following the main event. Local area merchants were happy to
welcome such a great bunch of visitors to town.<br />
<br />

There's one thing we can't do anything about and that's the
weather. The <b>Friday Swim Date</b> did not go as planned
thanks to torrential downpours, although a few Newfs decided to head
on out and go for a swim anyway – heck, what's a bit of rain when
you're already soaking wet? Most attendees preferred to stay
dry and many ended up coming out and helping our volunteers finish up
our welcome packages and raffle prizes. Thanks everyone for the
extra hands!

Lucky for us, the skies cleared overnight and the weather was
perfect for the main event on Saturday. We enjoyed welcoming over 100
Newfs plus dozens of dogs of other breeds, and several hundred people
throughout the day. Once again, the Newf community really
did us proud by showing what phenomenal dogs these are.
<br />
<br />
<br />
Our big day kicked off with a Parade of Rescues around Millennium
Park. A few remarked how the parade left them with goose bumps.
Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to collect
pledges and to all of the people who supported us. The pledge
drive was a tremendous success!<br />

This year's parade was led by the pets and family members of
one of our volunteers who we lost earlier in the week.
HART/Newf Friends volunteer Celine shared a few words about <span style="color: black;">our
good friend and one of our most devoted volunteers, Dorothy Millen.<i>
</i></span><span style="color: black;">Dot was quite the lady, a good friend and an
exceptional example of a volunteer. She will be greatly missed.</span><br />

Our <b>Meet the Newfs</b> booth was a new addition to our line-up
this year and it was a huge success! Many of our adopters
attended the event and came out to the booth to introduce their
dogs to our supporters and donors. The booth featured photos
and stories of some of the Newfs who were participating in this
event.<br />

Our online store will be updated over the next few weeks and we will
start shipping out our holiday orders right away. Details will
be posted up on our blog and Facebook page when we have updated our
online store with all of the amazing new products.<br />
<br />
Our 2013 Calendars were launched at NewfStock and they were a HUGE
hit as always. These calendars feature beautiful photos of many
of the dogs who went through our foster program over the last 2
years. They will be available online through our store
shortly.

We were so pleased to have our friends from the <b>Newfoundland
Dog Club of Canada </b>and the <b>Central Ontario Region Club</b>
attend NewfStock. They had a great booth selling NDCC
merchandise, offering information and providing education, giving
away free literature and handing out memberships for the National and
Regional Club. I hope that everyone who picked up a membership
package will join the club. It is through working cooperatively
with the National Club that we as rescuers can hope to have an impact
on the future of our breed, preserve it's heritage, protect the breed
from the damaging effect of back-yard-breeders, and help the breed we
love remain strong, healthy and true to what a Newf should be.

Thank you for registering, here's your handy information package with everything you need to make
the most of your visit to Bancroft and NewfStock.<br />
<br />
<b style="background-color: #3333ff;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: #ffcc99;">This package contains:</span></span></b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Pledge Forms for our parade (online & printable)</li>
<li>Info about all of the activities at NewfStock</li>
<li>Directions and printable maps to help you find everything you need</li>
<li>Important numbers including vet locations and phone numbers in case of emergency</li>
</ul>
All rescue dogs attending, regardless of breed or which rescue they
are from will receive a bandana to identify them as a rescue. To
celebrate rescues, our parade will be headed up by rescued dogs!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: medium;">NewfStock is Newf
Friend’s biggest fundraiser of the year and the funds raised at this
event are needed to keep our rescue running throughout the whole year.
Thank you for participating in this event!</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-size: medium;">Our goal for NewfStock 2012 is to bring in $25,000
(yes, we're an ambitious group) and a large portion of that will be
coming from pledges, so please start collecting today! Read on the
learn more....</span><br />
</i></div>
<br />
<span style="background-color: #ffcc99; font-size: medium;"><b>Parade Pledges</b></span><br />
<br />
We’re kicking off the day with an all breed parade around Millennium
Park, led by rescue dogs. We encourage all attendees to join in the
parade either with or without a dog, and show your support of rescue.
What a sight this will be, over 100 Newfs plus loads of Newf wannabees
parading around the park! <br />
<span style="background-color: #ffff33;"></span><br />
We’re
asking attendees to collect pledges for those participating in the
Parade to bring in much needed dollars to help us meet the needs
of Newfs over the coming months. Every dollar helps so whether you
collect $25 or $2500 your support is greatly appreciated! <b>We’ve got a special prize for the person who collects the most pledges! </b> In
2010 the prize for collecting the most pledges went to Sandy Mulheren
from New Jersey who collected over $2000 in pledges. He was very
closely followed by Anne McNamara from Sudbury. Maybe you will be this
year's winner? <br />
<br />
It couldn't be easier to participate -- we’ve arranged two simple ways you can collect pledges. <br />
<ul>
<li><b>Download & Print a Pledge Sheet</b>.
Collect pledges and bring the money collected and the pledge sheet to
Newfstock. (Newf Friends is a division of HART, a registered charity,
and donations
over $20 will generate a tax receipt. ****Cheques should be payable to
HART with Newf Friends in the memo line.) Here's the link to the
printable pledge form: <a href="http://www.newfstock.ca/pdf/NewfStock_Pledge_form_2012-2.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.newfstock.ca/pdf/<wbr></wbr></a></li>

<ul>
<li>
<b>Online Pledge Collection</b>. For your convenience, a personalized
online pledge form can be created enabling you to generate pledges from
family and friends around the globe! These online forms enable your
friends to donate online with a click of their mouse, and eliminate the
need for you to collect pledges and bring them with you. So easy! Your
customized page will have any info you want, including your fundraising
goal, a photo of your choice and a message of your choice. Here's the
scoop on how to set up your Giving page: <a href="http://www.newfstock.ca/pdf/NewfStock_giving_pages_2012-1.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.newfstock.ca/pdf/<wbr></wbr></a></li>

<span style="font-size: medium;">Check out these awesome collars that arrived today from <a href="http://www.dublindog.com/" target="_blank">Dublin Dog Co</a> in North Carolina! We will have them available in the raffle at <a href="http://newfstock.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">NewfStock</a> in September.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">They are fabulous collars which are
ideal for water loving dogs like Newfs because they are NO STINK
COLLARS! What a great idea, no more stinky collars after water
training! I'm going to order some for my own Newfs from the <a href="http://www.dublindog.com/" target="_blank">Dublin Dog website</a>!</span><br />
