Some of you may have heard that we discussed at the Board meeting the fact the we lost the fairgrounds as our venue due to the AKC Corresponding Date Calendar being set back a week. Subsequently, it has come to our attention that the Kennel Club of Beverly Hills and Long Beach Kennel Club are moving their shows back a week, leaving the 4th of July weekend open. With the approval of the Board and agreement of the other two show chairs we are moving our shows to July 1, 2 and 3 so that we can return to the fairgrounds. This is going to require some extra work, but we felt it was a better decision than looking for a new venue. Please know that we are going to need all the help we can possibly get. Shoot me an email and let me know what jobs you would be willing to help with. We appreciate everyone who is willing to help. Thanks for all your support, Peri Norman Summerfest Show Chairman perinorman@aol.com
