Hi Folks: Entries are closing in tomorrow May 28, 2008 at 6pm PDT, for our 2008 GSDCA NW Futurity/Maturity Weekend Specialties! Based on the interest we've received this may be an event weekend you do not want to miss!! We start the weekend off with: Specialty - June 13, 2008 - Judge Walter Falk NW Futurity/Maturity - June 14, 2008 - Judge Libby Cameron Specialty - June 15, 2008 - Judge Ed Barritt If you didn't get an entry in the mail, you can download it in 3 parts (Premium list info, Entry Form, After-Show Party Reservation) from our website - http://www.gsdcpacnw.org/2008shows.html Scroll down to the files for download. They are all in a PDF format for ease of use. Additionally, we are accepting online entries. A link is also available on from the web page referenced above. Remember we will be having a great after-show party after the Futurity/Maturity on Saturday June 14, 2008 being held at Pam O'Dell's lovely home situated on 7 acres just a few minutes from the show site. As in years past, it has been a very enjoyable, relaxed, well attended event with all the food you can eat - we're planning on Roast Beef ~ BBQ Salmon ~ Potatoes, Salads & All the Fixin's, some wonderful desserts and all kinds of refreshments including Beer & Wine. Please get your dinner reservations in so we are able to appropriately plan to make sure we have enough for everyone! Everyone is welcomed and encouraged to attend!!! We always have a great time at this event! Tickets are $10.00 per person until 06/06/08. Tickets will be available after 06/06/08 but they will be $15.00. We have another hotel to add to the mix - General Manager Jay Ohm of The LaQuinta contacted us with some excellent information. Located right next to the Quality Inn (formerly Holiday Inn), they've offered us a rate of $92.00 (+applicable taxes) and have indicated they will waive the pet fee. They are a PET FRIENDLY hotel. Of course we will be asking that all our exhibitors will be HOTEL FRIENDLY with their pets and will be cleaning up after their dogs appropriately so we do not lose this hotel as a potential place for people to stay with dogs. They offer continental breakfast with your rooms and also have a number of amenities in each room. You call them directly La Quinta Inn Everett 425 347 9099 RVer's - you may want to contact either the LaQuinta or the Quality Inn and look into if they will allow you to use their parking lot to stay and what fees they may charge for this. Other than that there are a couple of RV places nearby, I think the closest one is about a 5-10 minute drive away at: http://local.yahoo.com/results?stx=Campgrounds <http://local.yahoo.com/results?stx=Campgrounds&csz=Everett%2C+WA&ycatfilt=9 6928364> &csz=Everett%2C+WA&ycatfilt=96928364 That's a link that should give you a list. There may be others I'm not aware of and I am not making any recommendations concerning those on this list, as I have no first hand experience with them. At the very least there are two Walmarts in the vicinity. So, Enter Now and Enter often - Entries Close MAY 28, 2008 6PM PDT !! Thanks again to Royal Canin for your sponsorship of our shows. Looking forward to seeing you all! Kathaleen ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
