点评:Every year I go to The Gathering at Sunnybank where collie lovers and their dogs assemble on the third weekend of August for history talks, tours, collie matches, and getting together with friends. There is no cost to attend and no reservations needed for The Gathering event at Terhune Memorial Park. I look forward to learning more about Albert Payson Terhune who wrote Lad: A Dog and many other stories (he was one of America's most prolific authors) and the great Sunnybank dogs. I have several decedents of the Sunnybank dogs and bring them to Champion Rock, Lad's grave, the Lookout, the Lily Pond, and other "sacred" spots at Sunnybank. If you are a collie enthusiast, you must attend this event at least once in your lifetime.
