Emilie Hamilton and Arnold Walker with sweet
Elmo. Arnold yearly brings the "have to have" tables and
table skirts. He and Emilie have helped with planning, ideas,
muscle, set up, and worked on every where ever needed. Thank you!

Traci Benstine has M.C.ed all the Blasts. She
is wonderful, talented, and the greatest M.C. Everyone who comes to
the Blast finds her totally enchanting.

Mike Benstine - Set up man, muscle man,
Amplifier man, stage director, photographer, everywhere, doing
everything. Without him we would never to ready to go.

Mary Charbonneau is the Queen of Donations. We
are so blessed with her donations getting skills. This gal is
TOTALLY organized. She forever is coming up with wonderful ideas to
make every aspect of the Blast run smoother. The rest of us sit back
and wonder why we hadn't been doing that years ago. She puts in
tremendous hours working to obtain donations, picking up donations,
organizing and putting the donations into great raffles, putting
together the list of donations and donors, setting up the beautiful
display or the raffles, helping winners pack them up. Plus she did
all the Silent Auction items. Basset Blast is so lucky to have Mary. |

This gracious, super couple middle name is
GIVING. They came from the Coast on Friday and worked until 2 am
putting together the registration packages. They were up and ready
to help with every aspect of setting up the tables, tents,
decorations, and Brian filled in when one of the judges didn't show
up. Their basset is sweet Rudy and their Delta Certified Bassador is
darling Mia. They support Basset Rescue all year round.
|
|
Sharon Jameson and Cary Miller - great wonderful
gals. Cary has helped since the first annual Blast. Sharon came all
the way from the Coast again this year to help. Not only so the help
with set up, but they must be excellent sales person's as they sold
tons of shirts this year. |

Alexa Paul, Super West Side Basset Rescue, friend, artist, plus,
plus plus. Alexa drew all the wonderful bassets on your placemats,
and the great bassets on the bandannas. Alexa is the very talented
artist that has drawn all the bassets for the T-Shirt. This is one
fantastic Lady.
Brian Wright - Brian and Rachel are always
there to help and fill in anywhere, and doing every what, and in
anyway. This is a guy your need to have around.
Paul Charbonneau - Paul is our comic relief,
anyways ready to lightened our stress. Paul not only helps with set

house, hauls the raffles around.

Megan helped the judges keep track of the
winners of each event. This is a very important job, without her
great work we wouldn't have a record of who won what. Great job
Megan. |

helping with set up, to getting the right gift bags to each winner,
to handing out goodies. This sweet busy girl was a big help. |
