This event was a pretty big deal.  Delta ASC was holding conformation shows  and PASA held three obedience shows at the same location.  So, a number of our competitors were running around to one or two more places.   Thanks to trial chair, Donna Highstreet and trial secretary, Dave Connet for a great trial.  The weather was on the cool side and partly cloudy and the atmosphere was very pleasant. 

The  trial was almost full.    We had "NQ" raffles on Saturday and Sunday which were big hits, as usual.  The pot luck Saturday night with Delta ASC was awesome.
Congratulations to our ATCH-SP winner, Annette Dusa and Peyton.

High in Trial awards were given at this trial.  In the Veteran's group Dave Connet and his Aussie, Megan,  could almost do no wrong turning in a 9.5 for 10 weekend.   Deborah Ogg and her Corgi, Porsche, swept the Open group.  Junior Handler, Linnea Shorey,  arrived with her whippet, Buddie, just in time for the last class on Saturday and finished the day on Sunday with four Qs.  The excitement was in  Novice and Elite.  Both groups ended up with dogs tied in points.  In Novice,  Geri Lu Jurey and her Aussie, Rita, bested Patricia Fries and her Mini Aussie, Chance, in the time tie breaker.   Jean Danver and her Aussie, Chaps, had a 1 Q lead going into the 1st round of jumpers on Sunday only to  get confused on a tunnel entrance.   This gave Liza Buckner and her Aussie, Taiko,  a slight lead in time going into the last jumpers round.    The two dogs finished 1/2 in jumpers with Taiko winning by 2/10s of a second.
