Hello. No we (Anne Arundel) are not having our August specialty this year. From what we are told the Greater Washington club is now run almost entirely by obedience people and they have voted to not have conformation at their shows. Upon being notified of this Anne Arundel decided to cancel their august show for this year. Anne Arundel feared that a stand alone event scheduled for a Friday in the hundred degree August heat would not pull enough of an entry to even cover its expenses. We are currently trying to figure out a way to salvage our august specialties for the future but it's to late for this year. We are having a match show in august though & I believe the York club is going to have a match show that day as well (same location, same day). We'll be posting the details to the list soon. Thanks.

I told them I hadn't received anything either. Anyone know anything? Thanks, Patti **************Summer concert season is here! Find your favorite artists on tour at TourTracker.com.
