Upcoming Events for June

Monday night fun time - June 2nd & 16th - Please let me (Beth) know by phone (417) 252-0349 or e-mail if you plan on coming. If you let me know you are coming, I can give you a call if we need to cancel. The weather for Monday is calling for scattered chances of rain. We can always drop into the pavilion if it starts to rain. Unless this changes to a good chance for thunderstorms we will be there. We will meet at Galloway park at 6:30. As always if you can't make it at 6:30 you are welcome to drop in when ever you can get there. We usually quit around 8:00. We would hold drill team practice towards the end. Old Time Music Festival and Heritage Days - June 20 & 21. We will once again have a booth at the festival. We need to staff the booth on Friday from 10 -7 and Saturday from 9 - 6. Since vehicles have to be out of the booth area by 9 Friday morning, we will start setting up at 8:30. If 1 or 2 people can help that would be great. We don't have much heavy stuff. It would be good to have 2 people at the booth all the time. So if you can take a 2 hour shift that would be great. You can bring your dog as long as it is comfortable with crowds and little kids. Nearly everybody asked before petting the dogs, but there is always somebody who doesn't. If you think your dog might bite if surprised I would recommend leaving him home or bringing a crate for him to have a comfort zone. For the display I was thinking of pictures of what we do and some responsible dog ownership information. If anybody has any other ideas let me know. Also I could use help with putting something together. Since I'll probably get pictures off the website, let me know if you don't what any pictures with you in it used. As far as info about the pictures, it will just be what is being done and the breed of dog. We will be doing demonstrations at 3 and 7 on Friday. Nothing on Saturday. I'm thinking each should be 15-30 minutes long. We decided to do a drill team demonstration at the 7:00 time slot. If drill doesn't take that long we can fill-in with obedience or rally demonstration. We need to decide on what to do a 3pm. We will be in a grassy area with corral panels around the area. We can do a jumps with weaves demonstration. None of our contact equipment has been reworked to be usable yet. We can also do obedience and rally. We need volunteers for the demonstrations. Please let me know if you can participate. Club meeting - June 24 Our regular meeting at Howell-Oregon starting at 7:00.~ Beth
