RSPCA All Creatures Open Day
Sunday 16 March 2008
A fantastic day for all creatures great and small!

Even with temperatures over 40 degrees, thousands of people turned out to support the RSPCA’s All Creatures Open Day on Sunday March 16. It was great to see so many people and their dogs join us for a hot but exciting day!

Celebrity guests ‘Patsy’ from Ab Fab and Mark Wilson from Channel 7’s Dancing with the Stars together with MC’s ‘The Bachelors’ from Mix 101.1 FM entertained the crowd with wonderful demonstrations and a fascinating range of animals.

The family fun day included the birds of prey exhibit, wildlife and reptile display. The fabulous Casterton Kelpie Association team impressed us with their working dogs, and there were big crowds waiting to meet Lucy the Pony from Channel 7’s RSPCA Animal Rescue as well as the RSPCA Inspectors. The dog agility and obedience demonstrations were a huge hit with the crowds as well. The pony rides, face painting and fairy floss were as popular as always with the kids, and the Tyrrell’s wine tasting, food stalls, and dog washes were popular with the parents!

The World Animal Day Raffle was presented to the three winners in the main arena. We were delighted to announce that one of our long-standing volunteers was the lucky winner of the Bib Stillwell main prize! For more information click here.

The RSPCA says a big thank you to our celebrities, volunteers and members of the community for making this a very successful day with all money being directed to support RSPCA animal welfare programs.

Special thanks to our wonderful major sponsor Bib Stillwell BMW for their continued support of the RSPCA. We also thank Pace Farms for providing the barn laid eggs for our BBQ’s and Otway Pork for providing the free-range sausages and bacon.
