Come one, come all, it’s time for our Spring AKC Agility trial. This is a wonderful opportunity to compete, or to just come and watch if you are curious about agility.  The wonderful teamwork you’ll see between people and their dogs is enthralling.  We do need volunteers on an informal basis throughout the day, even if you can just donate an hour or two.  You can let our on-site people know when you arrive if you’re able to help.

All Nutmeg members are welcome to attend on Friday, June 26 to enjoy the fellowship that this agility trial offers.
