Every successful dog show takes committed volunteers. The National is no exception. Did you know it took over 70 volunteers to put together and run the Nationals ? Given the fact that none of them are professional event planners there were an amazing amount of successful activities over 7 days. And to have all those events with as few problems as were encountered is a true tribute to the commitment of all of those involved.
So here is a big THANK YOU to everyone who helped and everyone who came to the show.Here is my partial list of those to thank,if some are not on the list please add onto the thread !

A big thank you to Tony Emilio for all his hard work with the grounds/show site and organization so much.

Don't forget Audrey Wolcott, who worked hard at the central hub & also stewarded!

Rich and Deb Wilner, and Gill Perry, who all worked like stevedores on Monday during the set-up, and pretty much whenever there was work that needed doing.

Ted Jennings and Peter Wolcott for their hep with grounds.

Has anyone gotten their show photos yet? If so do you have the photographer's info? I haven't received the one I had taken yet. I did find the agility photos on line but those were taken by a different photographer.
Thanks for any info.

He was getting them in at the end of this week and sending them by weekend.

I thought we would have a choice, but I don't think so now.

Thanks. Hopefully mine will come early next week then. I just got a shirt I ordered at the other National I attended that week so I guess the photos are not that late.
Deb H.

I emailed him on Friday. He said he does
Not do online photos that we would select from.
He said the photos are expected any day from the
Processing lab. It sounds like we will have them in about
One week.
