Drenched Fur 4 has finished with many happy, smiling faces leaving on Sunday afternoon. The weekend overall was a great success and it goes without saying that so many people were involved to help make that happen.
The DF4 Committee would like to thank the following individual, businesses and organizations for their assistance this year:
The Avalon Hotel and Conference Center ~ Splash Lagoon Water Park Resort
Erie Gay News ~ CBandC Tours ~ Grise A/V ~ First Student Educational Services
Dog Tags Inc.com ~ UMX Inc. ~ PayPal Inc. ~ Scott Enterprises ~ Erie Federal Credit Union

The following individuals assisted with volunteering their personal time and was greatly appreciated:
Bill H., Bill G., Doc, Dan S., David S, Don D., Doug C., Fred G., Marshall S., Jack M., Jimi W., John P., Peter W., Randy S., Ron H., Thom L., and Tom H.
Also, the Silent Auction Charity Event at Sunday's Breakfast Buffet brought in a grand Total of $1,091! This money will be donated to the Shriners Hospital for Children located here in Erie, PA. The donation will be earmarked with instruction that every child that comes into the facility will be able to personally select a Build-A-Bear animal of their own to be put together by the staff members at Shriners. These animals will help the children recover in their time of need and cope with the challenging emotions of being in the hospital. Thanks to everyone that placed bids and to the winners as well.
The DF4 Committee would also like to thank the following for their donations to the Silent Auction:
Audie E., BearCiti.com, BearlyEdible.com, Chris S., Deborah S., DJ PowerBear, DJ Tony Ruiz, Duke Rivers, eBearsHome.com, Erie Book Man, Freedom Valley Campground, Gary S., Harley, The Memphis Boys: Matt and Sam, LeatherJack, The Link, Pantheon Productions, Steve K., Tom B.
