If you haven’t bought half priced parking yet for the cluster, it’s still available!
Hopefully tomorrow we will have quick counts for the specialty weekend.

Have you purchased discounted day parking tickets for the Heart of the Desert Classic, January 30-February 3, 2025 at the Arizona State Fairgrounds? Parking is charged from 6:30 a.m. through 5:00 p.m., Thursday through Monday and is $12 for standard vehicles & $24 for oversize vehicles.
While the sale supplies last, the tickets are half price -- $6 per entry for standard vehicle and $12 for oversize vehicle (see Premium List for full explanation).
There is an inventory of 359 standard vehicle left in inventory and 58 oversize. Exhibitors and spectators will need one ticket for each entry so if you are coming 5 days, you should purchase 5 tickets.
To purchase, go to heartofthedesertclassic.org, click on the arrow by the green Parking Tab and follow the instructions.

Excited to share with the fancy that The Italian Greyhound Magazine is back!

New page. New logo. Same great magazine!
Like, Follow & Share.

Introducing “The Cover Lottery”
In most major magazines it is the EIC that chooses who graces the cover of the magazine. Instead of selling the cover, I am asking you all to email me one photo you think would be a great cover!
IGs from the past and present, I want to see them all.
More on this later, when I officially announce that the Cover Lottery is open.
The only covers that will be available to purchase is the Stud dog issue and annual. Those are both ones that will be printed. The other covers will be printed and featured in the annual.

Ad prices for the magazine will be announced next week! These will be the ads in the quarterly issues. IGM will be available to view online as well as a yearly printed Annual!

Digital ads for social media advertising will be available as well! These won’t be in the magazine but will be posted to all of IGM social media platforms. When you purchase digital ads, IGM will share win announcements on our page as well! These will be great for big wins, dogs being campaigned, new stats, litter announcements, new champions and more!

We will have IGM Merch coming soon!
Hoodies, hats, tote bags and more!

Many of you have reached out with brilliant ideas! I love having your help and advice. Please be patient with me this year as we get things going. I look forward to working with each of you and creating ads for you all.

See you in 2025! 🥂
