We survived our first scentwork trial
on May 11, 2019!!
It wouldn't have worked so well without such a great crew. First I want to thank our judge, Jennifer Anderson. She was so supportive of all of the competitors. Next was the trial committee: Jane Harding, Melinda Harvey, Mary Knoll, Patty Hobin, Cheryl Rutz. We muddled though the planning phase learning all the way. In the end, the team put on a successful trial.
Finally thanks to all the volunteers.
It is so true we couldn't have done it without you.
Thank you also to Karen Ogden our photographer.
THANK YOU ALL and hope to see you next time.
Stephanie Staszak, Chairperson
