The Rocky Mt. GSD clubs Spring Specialty is now at a close. I would like to sincerely thank each and every exhibitor, club member, and judge for ensuring a wonderful show weekend. While our weekend was more warm than I like and prayed for it was a wonderful, enjoyable show weekend. Our club did compete against several other shows and yet I feel we still did nicely with 3 points on both sides both days. *****Our show secretary who is also our web guy had to take off very early this Monday for a week. This means that posting of the winners on our website will have to wait that long. ****** My grateful thanks first go out to Gary Szymczak and Lamar Frederick. They were both a class act and fun to be around. Both judges did a wonderful job judging. The plus with both is how agreeable they were to the whole process. Very nice guys who know their way around the dogs. Plus the easy manner with our Jr.'s. Gary and Lamar you are both the best. Club members. You guys are the glue that holds our club together. This show could not have gone forward with out you. Special thanks to Patty Korsch who is always making sure I am planning ahead, and who is the best ring steward EVER. This was a feat this year with her 12 Ch. Cookie puppies to keep her hopping. Jan Cressman the queen of show gifts, hospitality and gift bags ( for those staying at the host hotel) and the best show lunch around. Cesar Salad, Fruited chicken salad on croissants, and much more. Club members who helped to make sure our stellar Hospitality Night went off without a hitch. Help setting up/take down/making the awesome food to serve. Plus the wonderful conversation. Further acknowledgement of club members goes out to Fran Henry who took the time to e-mail the show list when road closers affected travel on Sat. to the show site. Also to Fran again and Dee Lauffer who manned the RALEEF table at our show. Thanks Ladies :O) To the Young Marines based out of Buckley Air Force Base you guys will always be thought of with a grateful smile. Our local Young Marines helped our show so much this year. Setting up and taking down. Providing a Color Guard for both days followed by the Pledge Of Allegiance. Their professionalism was so appreciated. Their duty was not only to help our club set up and take down each day. They were also there to help the exhibitors set up and take down. They were wonderful. Our host hotel the Staybridge Suites your so fancy to allow our dogs there but still your welcome us. Glendale Parks department and Vickie Allen who put off the Mayor of Glendale so we could hold out show at Creek side park. As usual the park was green and beautiful as it has been for us the last 3 years. Beautiful spacious grounds a little walk from the host hotel. Back drop for show pictures a planter full of Pansy's and a background of trees. Web page for show pictures www.stoverphotography.com A show chairman's job is demanding but when you have help like this you simply have to say thanks and enjoy the weekend. I guess what this means is that we are gearing up for our 2007 National Host duties. A special thanks to Gary S. and Brad Sipp for the nice words about our show, our club and our site.
