Hi everyone!

What a great day for trialing! Started early enough that we got lot's of n/c runs in before dark! Saw lot's of nice dogs and people testing the waters in moving up a step. Some nice young dogs coming up and new handlers to the sport! Love it!

Some BIG thank yous to Bob Hickman for his first ever judging stint and it had to be the nursery, ranch and novice novice, some of the toughest classes to judge. As a reward, we let him judge the open n/c runs!

Thank you Bob, you did a great job. Also thank you to everyone that worked their set out shifts and to some of you that worked yours and someone else's ( George and Ron). Looks like we had just about the right amount of lunch goodies for you all. I think there might be enough soup left for one more bowl. Also thank you to Jane Hickman for totally score sheets and organizing that part of the trial. If I missed anyone, sorry, we really appreciate everything you all do for us to help host these trials, THANK YOU ALL!

We started with open at first light, running 12 teams. Donna Donahue and Kate went to the post with just enough light to see the top of the field. With 100 points up for grabs with a short and tight course to be done in 7 1/2 minutes, good job! Course was pretty straight forward, nothing fancy until the pen where you had to stay at the post to pen and then on to the shed ring for a single ( three sheep were run).

1. Diane Pagel and Nan 0-0-6-9-0-1 84
