Nevada State Fair

[renegade]

A few details:

1) You need to pre-register by noon on Monday to be put on the list to get free entrance to the fair. If you register after that, we will try to get you on the list, but there are no guarantees. The fair has asked for the list by Monday and I'm not sure how willing they will be to add names after that.

2) We will have gate, unloading, and other information soon - I will post the info as soon as I know anything - it might be Tuesday before I have this so check your email after Tuesday evening!

3) We need volunteers to help with wrangling, merchandise and registration. Please email JJ at: jjbowen08@aol.com if you can help out. The more people we get to help, the shorter the shifts we need people to work! Also, splash bucks will be given to all volunteers (10 splash bucks per 2 hours worked).

Hey Urs,
All is going well. Have lots of dogs going to make the finals since here at the fair we are running divisional finals. Lots of personal bests. Annie Harmon with Pepperspot had a beautiful jump (with a perfect throw) for another new personal best of 17'3" (gotta love thoughs junior handlers). Gustav went just over 20' and Aly with Seamus (another BC that rocks) went over 21 for the first time. There were others but can't seeem to remember them all. Several new juniors out with dogs which is always fun to see. Everybody seems to be having fun with their dogs which is the most important thing and of course the crowd loves the show as well. Wish you were here but there's always next year.

The Reno event was great again! There were some newbies out there for the first time with dogs jumping 18'+ which was great to see! And if anyone was at the SRS event and remember the American Staffordshire Terrier Oso who was pretty amazing there...he hit 22' this weekend and made the final 4 in the pro finals!

On a personal note, Charlie is still doing so so with his jumping...he's still loving it ,but not really trying hard for those jumps. But, we brought Sienna, our little 1 year old chocolate lab out for the 2nd time, and go our first "official" jumps in the book. She had a 2'0", 2"4", 1'8" and a no go. We're very proud of her and look forward to her continuing to build confidence.

Congrats to all the dogs and handlers at the event and I hope everyone had as much fun as we did!
