Thanks to all the exhibitors and people that helped to get our show be a wonderful success! The weather on Saturday was chilly and very windy, but Sunday's weather was almost picture perfect. Thanks for all the raffle donations, as we has a lot that came with exhibitors at the last minute. Sorry we couldn't acknowledge everyone in the catalog, but all is greatly appreciated! I think this was our most successful raffle we've ever had. I think we fell short of our goal, but don't know the final tally yet. I know Linda Ciancio was very disappointed she couldn't be here to judge, but having 5 foot snowdrifts at your front door, there's just not a lot you can do about that! Just wanted to says THANKS EVERYONE!

I would especially like to thank those volunteers who showed up to help. Extra hands make less work all around. We are a small committee but with friends and family we put together a nice show with a beautiful entry. The Judges commented about the depth of quality in their ring.
Extra large thanks to my fellow turkeys -- for keeping me in stitches and too busy laughing to worry about a little wind.

Re: Spirit of St. Louis Labrador Retriever Specialty
I think all you cute turkeys did a fantastic job with this show! Thank you so much for inviting me to judge your sweepstakes entry on Sunday. Even though this is a small club, you were huge in your hospitality and good-natured fun. There was great depth of quality in the entry at this show. I loved all my class winners, and felt there were several puppies that could have easily taken home that pink and green ribbon. But of course, I LOVED my winners, Best in Sweeps, Erieandani Anguiano and Best of Opposite in Sweeps, Fenwyck's Never Again. Big congratulations to the breeders and owners of these very special puppies!
Re: Spirit of St. Louis Labrador Retriever Specialty
Patty - you and your club put on a fantastic show! The food was great, the company wonderful, the dogs beautiful, and, especially the second day, the weather heaven-sent! Do you have an inside track with the Higher-Ups or something?
Special thanks to Patty Streufert, who was my and Conner's hostess wit the mostest and Terry Keller, who hand carried my entry to Lois so I wouldn't miss the deadline.
It was a fantastic show and one I'll definitely put on the list of go-tos for next year.
