"We want this festival to appeal to everyone," said Csenge in a phone interview from his Maine home.

Greyhound Gathering
The Kane County Office of Tourism provided the following news release:
The greatest gathering of retired racing greyhounds in the Western US is taking place in Kanab, Utah May 3 - 5. Four hundred ex-racing greyhounds, and the families who adopted them, are traveling days to Kanab to join in the seventh annual Greyhound Gathering - Kanab 2007 organized by Utah's own Greyhound Gang.
Founder Claudia Presto says, "This is a spectacle and celebration like no other. We have hundreds of happy rescued racing hounds, and the humans who have opened their hearts and homes, coming together to celebrate the joys of greyhound love."
Saturday, May 5th features the traffic stopping parade, the crazy Carnival booths just for the hounds, and the blazing Blur of Fur, where hounds chase their humans while being clocked by radar.
It's also a chance to see how this elegant, centuries old breed has made a difference in the lives of the people who have adopted them. More information at http://www.greyhoundgang.org/.
