| Barbecue and The
(not-so) Great Serum Run at Fairview Park - Saturday October 28 |
Southern California Working Snow Dogs and the
Alaskan Malamute Club of Southern California had a howling good
time at Fairview Park in Costa Mesa on Saturday, October 28th! In
fact, the event was such a success we need to change the name to the 'First
Annual' or 'First Bi-Annual' Barbecue and The (not-so) Great Serum Run at
Fairview Park!
The event would not have been possible without all the wonderful people who
organized the event - namely Rancy - who made this all possible. Thank
you also to everyone who attended as without your enthusiasm, your
participation, and, of course, your dogs, it would have been a non-event.
HUGE thanks to all who have contributed so much to making this event as
successful as it was. First and foremost are all the wonderful folks from
SCAMC (Southern California Alaskan Malamute Club) so notably represented by
Tom Dunn, for providing the hotdogs, burgers, drinks and for coordinating the
potluck. Tina Dunn and her "kennel girls" (although I think there were a
couple of boys hanging around with the girls...hmmm....), for helping out in
anything and everything. And of course, Nichole Royer, for setting up her
agility/Rally-O course, bringing her cart and scooters and helping others get
started in this wonderful sport, contributing all those wonderful prizes,
driving all the way from Lancaster, and giving me much appreciated advice when
I
needed it.
Thank you as well to Joan, Diane, and Chuck, for your assistance in the little
things here and there and Kecia --- those raffle tickets really came in handy.
And Matt and Claire, aka Three Dog Bakery, aka Husky Dots and Black n' Blue
Crew, aka Fab Five, aka web designer/programmer --- the doggies are loving you
both forever for the wonderful treats you donated!
And if you guys ever get to talk to either Carmen from Alpine Outfitters and
Rob from Diggler, make sure to thank them for providing those wonderful
prizes.
And remember, you all contributed (including all the yummy foods) in one way
or another, with your participation being the biggest factor of them all, so
make sure to give yourselves a pat on the back (and your pups a scratch behind
the ear). We achieved what we set out to do, which was to have a day of fun
and a wonderful, howling great time with our dogs.
