The weekend featured the Gold Rush Parade in Rehoboth Beach May 8, a romp and bonfire on the beach in Dewey Beach May 9, and a farewell ice cream social May 10.
The Golden Jubilee is a biannual event, taking place in the spring and fall. It raises money for the Morris Animal Foundation's Golden Retriever Lifetime Study, which aims to identify the nutritional, environmental, lifestyle and genetic risk factors for cancer and other diseases in dogs. It's one of the nation's largest, most comprehensive prospective canine health studies.
