With Dog Show and Turkey hangover now behind us, we would like to extend our sincere thank you to all our hard working volunteers this past weekend, especially our Executive members who worked their butts off to make it happen. Their hard work and dedication made our Thanksgiving Dog Show Weekend a Huge Success!! We had the largest entry we have seen in years and for that we are grateful!! The generosity of exhibitors with their donations and bids on the bake sale and auction table, supporting our 50/50 draw, among other fundraisers throughout the weekend!
Thank you all!!

Stay Tuned for what we are planning next!!
