All of the proceeds for the event will go to help Colorado-based nonprofit organization Harley’s Dream. The organization was created by Berthoud residents Rudi and Dan Taylor after adopting a Chihuahua named Harley who had spent 10 years of his life cooped up in a tiny, filthy cage at a puppy mill.
