Still room in NSKC in Topsfield, MA -Topsfield fair. 7/18-19. RV with hookups available. All levels and elements (No HD). It may be hot, but I just had a hot trial at RIKC this weekend, and there are many ways to keep your dog and yourself cool. The majority of people had a great time (I hope!). We also will run 2 levels in Am and 2 levels in PM. So you can just come for half a day if you want. Contact Julie Annese, Annette or myself for more information.

Hi folks. We still have room in the North Shore kennel club trial in July. I know it’s July. I know you think it’s going to be hot. But we actually had a trial that was about 95° today in Rhode Island and people hung in like a champ and it was great a great Q rate and everyone was able to keep cool. So think about coming to our trial. Thanks! PS. Trial confirmations coming soon. But everyone who has sent in an entry is in.

Update on NSKC trial. I am working my way through the entries from the random draw (I'm helping Annette with this as her assistant). Everyone who mailed in so far is in. We did not fill with random draw. Will send confirmations soon. But know that if your entry was sent, you will be accepted in the trial.

Just at fyi. I am on vacation in the Azores. Have gotten many requests for move Ups for upcoming trials and have tried to respond to all. I will send updated confirmations when I return later this week (assuming our flight goes out - we had trouble getting here because of weather on the way here). But rest assured I will process all requests once i return.
