The schedules for the dog shows on Saturday and Sunday December 7 and 8 have been posted. Newfoundland judging in the Granite City Kennel Club show will be at 10 AM on both days. Ring #6. (If it is like last year this will also be the ring we use for our specialty) On Saturday the Sweepstakes will be judged by Roger Powell and will start at 2:00. Roger and his wife Consie live in Ely, having semi-retired there (both continue to work, seemingly full time) a few years ago with their dogs who are from their own Ottawa Newfoundlands. I'm hoping that Consie will bring some of her books along for those who don't have them. The specialty show judge will be Bev Capstick for the regular classes, and that starts after sweepstakes, about 2:45. On Sunday sweepstakes will be judged by Coleman Kemerovo, start at noon, giving everyone a little more time to get home. Regular classes Sunday start at 12:45 and are judged by Chuck Winslow. We will be holding a cardiac clinic starting at 9AM on Saturday and running until at least 3 (as long as there are dogs to be checked) with Dr. Chris Stauthammer of the university of Minnesota Veterinary Teaching Hospital. The banquet will be held at the Green Mill (sorry this is the second change in venue, but it keeps us in the same building). Please let Susie Manke (susieq_quilts@hotmail.com) know if you are coming so she can get the right number of tables and chairs!
