Huge thanks to all our judges and volunteers for making everything run smoothly!  I want to personally thank Teresa Brown for serving as my Assistant Secretary, allowing me to stock handle and run a dog. Last but not least, thanks are due to Barbara Davenport and Steve Weigley for maintaining such a great facility for us all.
