🐾 A Heartfelt Thank You from the Avalon Kennel Club! 🐾

We’d like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who donated to our recent food drive! Instead of a monetary admission fee, we asked for food donations, and our purebred dog community delivered in a big way. 💙

Thanks to your generosity, we were able to drop off a fantastic collection of food to St. Kevin’s Parish, where it will go a long way in helping those in need within our community!

The Dog Show Hangover is lingering...we hope you are all recovered from a fun filled weekend!

As many of you know these events would not be possible without hard working volunteers who make it all happen! So many great people made this past weekend a success, there is no way we can possibly list each person individually for fear of missing someone, you are all very important to us and we appreciate each of you beyond measure! Thank you!! 🙌🐾🫶

All in all it was a great weekend, but we do have a few important reminders that we will reiterate closer to our show in October!

It's imperative for All Exhibitors to read the Premium List as well as the Judging Schedule prior to the event...EXHIBITOR SETUP DOES NOT BEGIN UNTIL 7:00PM - We ask that you please respect that! We had exhibitors in the building securing power for grooming while the Canteen & Photographer were still setting up and had not yet secured power. Not to mention the volunteers who were lugging and transporting mats and equipment, working hard for over 2hrs to get things in place for our event only to turn around at 6:45pm to find other exhibitors who had not volunteered securing grooming....This is so unfair to those who are working their butts off for the club and the event!!

There was also an incident where DUCT TAPE was used on the gym floor, this could very well cause us to lose the only venue we currently have that will still allow us to host dog shows! The DUCT TAPE was covered by Painters Tape so it was not visible until after breakdown on Sunday. This required one of our hard working volunteers to get on all fours and spend at least 10-15 minutes carefully scraping the floor so as not to damage it. Thankfully it worked and there was no damage to the floor, but we may not be so lucky next time! As most of you are aware, this is THE ONLY venue that will allow any club to host a dog show!!

ONLY PAINTERS TAPE IS PERMITTED ON THE FLOOR! Duct Tape can be used to secure tarps to one another, but not to the floor!

Last but certainly not least, Huge Congratulations to all exhibitors this weekend, whether it was your first time in the ring, first time in breed/group, or first time in Best In Show you should all be very proud of yourselves and your dogs!

We hope to see you all in October for our shows and PARADE OF CHAMPIONS!! Details to follow, stay tuned! 🏆🏆🏆
