I think the problem this year was more the change in plan rather than the plan. lol I would imagine if you specify that lunch and rescue parade will take place at noon and judging will stop at that time, there should not be a problem. This year, with the change in plan, folks could not get their bitches ready on time. Of course, there will ALWAYS be those that are not happy. Give them good judges, and they will come. Your list for next year sounds GREAT! Colette ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
