Pizza Party Extravaganza   -   6:30-9:00

The fun begins on Friday evening, May 24th, at our amazing location, the Copetown Community Centre just outside of Hamilton. This spacious facility is located just 15 minutes from the hotel. Directions are available on the Bustle Kit page and will also be available at the hotel!

We invite all of our supporters, admirers, guests and their dogs to join us for an evening of fun, games, a quirky little contest or two and some very yummy pizza. This year we are bringing the Bustle to the Friday night event as well with a pre-raffle set up so you can get a head start on winning your favourite items.

The Pizza Party is the ultimate way to begin your basset filled weekend and we look forward to seeing you there.

Don't forget:  We will have pre-registration at the Pizza Party.  Sign up on Friday night and just breeze on in to the Bustle on Saturday!  If you are unable to participate on Saturday, please join on us on Friday if you can.
