Sorry, I normally have pictures in this issue. Couldn’t believe
that in my care of packing for my 4 day stay for the Show, I left
my camera at home! When the pictures come in from the Pro
photographers, I will run them in the next issue. In the meantime, the results are on page 4. We had 7 Specialty Clubs for the
2 days Friday and Saturday, and 2 additional for just Saturday.
Saturday the total entry for the Clubs was 551. The biggest entry
was for Golden Retrievers, with 203 and 196 Friday and Saturday. They also hosted Obedience Classes on both days.
This is the time of year we must do our nominations for officers
and Board Members. The committee must be chosen this up
coming meeting.
Our grounds need some work to smooth out the grounds where
the rings are set. Mark has offered to truck in some dirt and
sand mix, but we will take on the cost of the dirt and sand. It
will be smoothed and graded and rolled. The hot summer last
year and the early hot weather this year left uneven surfaces.
This upgrade should solve the problem.
Upcoming activities on the Grounds. Drones will be there on
Sept. 17th and 25th, Sundays. Weeknights still on Thursday evenings. They end their season by October 15th. Whippets Practice on the 17th. The Whippet Club is holding a Lure Trial on the
15th and 16th of October.
Sammamish Kennel Club,
Inc. is adamantly opposed to
legislated castration and/or
spay of companion animals
without the consent of the
owner.
Remember the meeting the 14th, 2nd Wednesday at Rose Hill
Station #26, at 7PM

SHOW REPORT
Our 2016 August show was a success but we have some work to do for next year. The weather was great, only hot on the
Friday specialty day, and very pleasant on Saturday and Sunday. I haven’t done the finances yet but I feel we did just fine!
Thanks again to my wonderful Special Coordinator, Rusty Kingery.. Couldn’t have done it without her tireless assistance
and don’t want to even try!
Bo Gloster and Laura Young are appreciated as Ring Stewards with Sandee Isaacson heading the steward situation as Chief
Ring Steward. She had to recruit additional stewards at the last minute and came through with flying colors.
Again thanks for Sandee and Rusty for joining me at the Saturday night get-together with a number of the judges for Sunday. It was a fun evening of dog talk and tall tales.
Flowers were beautiful…thanks to Jackie Blumenstetter.
And special thanks to hard working members, Madeleine Boucher and Roy Tellez. They worked overtime on the parking
and vendor arrangements.
We were fortunate to have ex-member, Muriel Clifford, to supply day-of-show hospitality to judges and workers. She always
does a great job.
Last but not least, Kudos to our grounds crew. Tony Kunz and his son Jordan and daughter Kasey, Carter Cushing, Alicia
Bodner, Shea Price and a couple of others who helped. Plus of course, Bryan Christy who has done this so many times, he
could do it in his sleep.
We couldn't have done the reserved grooming and power by ourselves, so a really big "THANK YOU' goes out to Ron and
Sheila Colyer from the Golden Retriever club for organizing this, including the booster baths that made bathing so much
easier.
For the rest of the membership, we missed you. But there’s always next year!
Chair: Jan Leikan
Thank you Jan. We rely on your experience to make a show go on! And coordinate all the working parts. R
