Re-cap from the Match Continued. Best Adult Handler 1st place Kim Burrier and Flyer" the Airedale 2nd place Jessica Walter and Jade the English Setter 3rd place Elizabeth Woolford and Twister the Brittany (photo of all 3 club members) On Sunday, March 1st, YABTC held their Annual Conformation Fun Match. Saturday afternoon, the clean-up crew was lead by Dale and Kim Burrier. The floors were scrubbed, rings were set and it looked like a show was about to take place on the inside. Mother Nature had her own intentions on the outside, we were hit with 4-6 inches of snow in the morning, but as they say, the show must go on. We had a very nice turnout considering the weather conditions. There were approximately 50 puppies that showed and 20 that were pre-entered and did not show, most likely due to the weather. Sue Bell manned the Raffle Table, which was small but made a nice little profit for the club. Best Jr Handler under 8 yrs Addison Patti and her Whippet Lance Special thank you to Diana James and the 4H Goat Club for providing breakfast and lunch for our exhibitors. Diana also did double duty as one of our judges! Thank you to Butch Redman who had the honors of being our other judge. Also Thanks to Perri Graf, Kim and Dale Burrier, Liz Woolford, Lisa Sangregario, Sue Davis, Georgianne Doyle, Sue and Donn Bell and Jessica Walter. It takes a TEAM to make these events happen!

Shout Out to our Agility Trial Committee! - By Sandy Irish YABTC hosted the first 2015 agility trial at the Niles Wellness Center on March 15 and 16. It was a big two ring trial and we had several club members come out to help and work at the trial. Even some new faces! Yippee! I want to personally thank my Trial Committee, super group that they are! They put in so many hours and long days and I appreciate them SO much. I also want to thank members who came to load and unload the trailer, set-up and take down, and all the others who give their time as a donation to this club. We are truly blessed to have so many who unselfishly give hours upon hours to make events happen. Volunteerism is alive and well at YABTC! We had several good comments at the trial and hopefully everyone had a good time and Q'd with their dogs. Isn't that what it is all about? Thank you to ALL of you who came to help. I won't name names because I would surely miss someone! Now mark your calendars for the June 20 & 21 trial at the Well again. It will be here before we know it!

She records the information, and checks to see which classes are filled and which still have available openings. She also keeps track of the registrants' payments. JoAnn opens the building and supervises the "Fun Runs" every Sunday from 7:30 to 10:00 AM so that members at all skill levels of agility have the opportunity for extra practice.
