EVENT EDITORIAL
At this year's TarTan Picnic, here were lots of people, lots of dogs, lots of food, lots of great things to do and lots of beautiful weather.
Jim Dillon and Ralph Schmid were our bird trainers, and plenty of dogs got a chance to show their “stuff” in the field.
Faith Grogan was our guest judge for the fun match where our beautiful black and tan’s, including Trudy the French Bulldog (who is kind of black and tan), competed for fabulous prizes and the chance to be best in the Picnic.
More fun was had at the games hosted by Val Schmid. This year was the first year of the Gordon Idol games. Our dogs did us proud. And as always there was great food to get us through the day.
Jerry and Candice Bell, and Debbie Friedus, again donated their time to do micro-chipping and CHIC DNA.
Thanks to all who helped out and to those who came to enjoy this great day of fun, frolic and friends!
