MEDIA ADVISORY

“LUNCH WITH LAURA AND BARNEY”
 


(AUSTIN, TEXAS) – Alfred Hitchcock, the official rooster at Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch, has a lot to crow about these days!!! First Lady Laura Bush and First Dog Barney are coming to Austin, Texas to have lunch with us and to show their support for our ranch and animals! Kinky Friedman, the Gandhi-like figure of the Rescue Ranch, will be hosting the event with a little help from some very special friends. It’s not the Last Supper – it’s the First Lunch with Hill Country Vegetarian Cuisine served up by Chef Elmar Prambs at the Four Seasons.

The Rescue Ranch’s non-partisan pigs – Arnold, Alice, Babe, Lucy, and Ricky Ricardo - are already squealing with delight! Our two donkeys, Roy and Gabby, are kicking up their heels. Our elephant (we don’t really have an elephant – yet) is loudly and proudly trumpeting “The Eyes of Texas!” Our fifty-three dogs are very excited that Mrs. Bush and Barney are coming. They can’t believe the adventure upon which we will soon be embarking (Get it?) They can’t wait to attend the biggest treat in Texas since Dr. Pepper.

In four short years the Utopia Rescue Ranch has adopted almost five hundred stray and abused animals and placed most of them in loving homes. Our motto is: “Money may buy you a fine dog, but only love can make him wag his tail.”

If your news organization is interested in covering “Lunch with Laura & Barney,” please contact CLEVE HATTERSLEY at 512-870-0249 or email: cleveandmary@aol.com. Deadline to RSVP for attendance is May 28.
All the animals hope that you do!
