Hi all,
Well we are coming down to the wire with the Christmas Party so I need to know how many people to expect! If you have not put your name on the list please do it by Wed so we can get the extra tables and chairs. Also I need to know how many Q's you earned this year in order to award our prizes! Also if you have videos or pictures for the slideshow we need those now.
We will be setting up at 12:30pm on Saturday the 20th so anyone who wants to pop over to help with that we would be thrilled to have you!
The Christmas party will start at 5pm. Bring your holey board arm as well since we will once again have our tournament!!
Thanks to everyone who braved the cold weather to attend the funmatch and to all our new students who came out and learned how to time and scribe! They did a great job! We are looking forward to having them out to help at some of our trials in the future. They will be working hard in 2009 to get their new dogs up and running as well!
We are closed as of the 21st and will re open on Jan 3rd. So those of you with Saturday classes you will only miss the 27th.
Drop in practice days are the 27, 29 and 30th. 11-1 for Novice and 1-3 for advanced, please sign up ahead of time. If there are not enough people wanting to come in over the holidays we will just cancel those drop in times.
Looking forward to visiting with everyone at the Christmas party! Especially those of you that we haven't seen much of lately!!!

Well our first Winter Skills Camp is over and was a huge success. The dogs were fantastic, the people even better! Everyone came out with an open mind and ready to work! I was so impressed! Their enthusiasm kept me going during the 9 hours of teaching each day!
I want to thank all the participants for coming out to support this camp (at the end of November yet, we had great weather for the most part), and I would like to extend a VERY heart felt thanks to Barb Wright, Brenda Colebrook, Michelle Makelke, Tracey Dery, Rob Struthers and my mom Pat Krebs for all their help during the three days of camp.Could not have done this without you all.
Hopefully we will have some pictures from this camp for the slide show at the Christmas Party Dec 20th.
Thanks You everyone!
