What a weekend!! Lots of things to cover, so hope I don't forget anyone or anything.
First off, CONGRATULATIONS to HKSC member, Sandra Rushing and her dog, Jag, with her first place win at the 2017 WKG DVG IPO Regionals!! 🎉🎊🎈😎
Congrats to Danny Craig with Elf on his second placement. And to Marlene Ferguson with Brix from HKSC with her third place showing!!
❤Thank you, thank you so much to our club secretary and trial secretary, Karen Kibbe for all her hard work and hustling over the weekend. This couldn't have been done without you or Sandra working so hard! ❤Also, thank you to the WKG Board members for helping us out with all the paperwork and details. Especially Ted Hartman for all his work helping put this together.
Given how horrible the weather was Friday morning for tracking, want to give a HUGE shoutout to club members, Tim Cutter and Don Brooks who laid tracks in that sludge, wind and rain. Thank you, guys!🌬❄️⛈
Also, thank you to club members, Jim Downey and Janet Noble for being our groupies, along with Wild West members and Lucy Ang.
Thank you to all the WWDS members whom entered our trial and lent a helping hand to make sure things went smoothly. Our club really appreciates all your entries and volunteers.
Natas BBQ served up some awesome food for two days and saved our butts from having nothing to eat in th middle of the countryside. Thank you!🐷🐮
⭐Thank you to club members, Ben and Debbie Alvernez for so graciously letting us use their trial fields and tracking fields for the event and the two day workshop following. We couldn't have done this without you!! ⭐
Lastly, thank you to the wonderful Helper work by Tim Cutter and Weston Kester and keeping all th dogs safe!! LRO and our Judge, Hartmut Beckman did an awesome job and everyone loved having him and his apprentice, Joel Monroe on his first assignment.
Congrats to all th competitors who showed and all the new titles earned. And especially all the qualifiers earned for the 2017 Nationals. Great job, everyone!
And, of course, all the awesome businesses, vendors and individuals that donated to our raffle and event! It made it that much more special including our lovely competitor bags!!
Best,
