Current Events
Summer 2007 Schedule:
ALL Fun Runs, Qualifying Runs, and AKC
JC Tests for Friday, Aug
3 and Saturday, Aug 4 will be run in the REBARCHEK FIELD (across from the
main Fair entrance), NOT the Infield.
There has been much heavy equipment activity in the Infield, and they've
changed the landscape from grass/mown hay to dirt and rocks. Therefore, for
the safety of the dogs, we will us the Rebarchek Field for all the rest of
the 2007 Lure Coursing events.
Tally ho!
