Greetings All,

Well we finally were able to conduct our Club Championship for the 2019-2020 Season. What a wonderful weekend it was! The dogs performed well (in most cases) and the weather cooperated very well (a little hot on Saturday pm). I truly appreciate the wonderful turnout we had both days considering this was Memorial Day weekend. The results will be posted shortly on the club’s Facebook and YouTube Pages. Also, I think the Retrieving Challenge was a hit. May make this a tradition with some improvements. Right Shawn?

Since this is Memorial Day, I would like to take a little of your time to reflect on what this DAY is for. It was created to remember those who have given everything (their life) to preserve our liberty and freedom of which we take too much for granted. Many of us have lost family and friends due to service two & and for our country. This is the day to remember their sacrifice for all of us!!!!.

Now to the culmination of the 2019-2020 trial season ! We had a terrific turnout as 46 dogs competed in either the championship or side trial competition, many of which were new members to our club. Congratulations to all the participants for joining in and having a good time with your dogs! 

As many of you know, these events do not occur without a great deal of help from our members. These volunteers make these events happen. So when you see them or meet them for the first time, say, “Thanks for what you do for our club”. They deserve every cudo you can give!

God bless these folks:
