Another year of our Specialty and Supported entry Shows has come and gone. Thank you to all who helped financially or at the shows. We could not provide such a good show without the help of all of our Club members and friends.
Thursday’s Supported Show had 37 entries. Saturday’s Sweepstakes had 25 entries, followed by our Supported Show with 59 entries.
Saturday evening we held a picnic with about 60 people in attendance. Thanks to all who brought food and attended. Sunday we ended the weekend with the WHWTCNO’s Sweepstakes and Specialty. The Sweep-stakes had an entry of 33. The Specialty had an entry of 62. We followed the shows with a catered luncheon.
Thanks to Randy Schriber for being the Specialty Arrangements Chairperson and making all the necessary arrangements with the Host Clubs and for taking care of the continental breakfasts.
Thanks to Chris Schriber for reserving the Motel for our guests.
Thanks to Cathy Blacklock and Chris Schriber for being the trophy chairpersons and for acquiring the trophies for the shows. The trophies for this year were very nice.

Thanks to everyone who helped to move chairs and tables for the picnic and luncheon. And thanks to all who cleaned the building before the Shows
Without our many workers it would be impossible to pull off a weekend like this. Also, thanks to our members and friends for their generous donations.

Our newsletter editor, Conni Lawrence, has become very busy with her work and has asked that we find someone to take over after this issue. If you are willing to help the Club by doing the High-lander, please contact me as soon as possible so that we can continue to provide the Highlander. A big thank you to Conni for providing the past few newsletters.
Hope to see you at Barkitecture and the Holiday Party,
Gary
