Anyone able to help or willing to donate blood or cheek swabs from their dogs, is urged to contact Mike Lappin at [email protected], or phone 508-759-4522. You may download and print consent forms, to bring with you, from the following web sites.

MORNING HOSPITALITY A Break with Tradition

In order to provide hospitality to the most exhibitors and spectators, we are breaking with the tradition of providing a hospitality room at the host hotel. Instead we invite you to stop by our special hospitality booth at the show site in the Event Center Tent for “morning munchies.” The booth will be open from Monday (Agility Day) through Saturday (Best of Breed Day) from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. You can sit down, nibble and visit; or if you are in a rush, you can grab and go.

You will find us inside the Event Center Tent at Harvey Airfield, in close proximity to the Agility/Obedience/Conformation rings and the food vendors. Our complimentary beverage and food service will close at 10:00 a.m., but our table area will be open until mid-afternoon for food vendor seating.

With six days of hospitality to provide, our neighboring Golden clubs in Canada (GRC of British Columbia); Spokane, Washington (Inland Empire GRC); and in the Portland, Oregon area (Pacific Rim GRC) are each hosting a day.

On Saturday morning from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. we will also have a special visit from Starbucks Coffee Co., which is supporting our National by offering FREE coffee and pastries to all. Make sure you stop by the tent for this special Northwest treat.

For additional information contact Bev Brown, 360-886-6966;e-mail [email protected].
