We held our first March/2-day/4-trial weekend of CDSP trials this past weekend. What a great weekend! Everyone who showed had some success, and that is an understatement.
We finished a LOT of titles and drove our Trial Secretary Extradinaire, Joe Anne Goodling, crazy with all of the moveups!!!
We had RUNOFFS!!!! Multiple runoffs! Both days!
Anne Papalia judged on Saturday, and Sara Jacobs judged on Sunday.
Too many successes for me to remember them all. Once everyone posts their brags, I will do another post.
Now, on to planning for 2 days of CDSP trials in early August! That is, of course, if I can sweet talk Joe Anne into secretarying again!!
HUGE Thank You to Joe Anne, who is the best trial secretary ever, and to all of the volunteers who stewarded and helped set up and clean up. Special mention also goes to Doug Brubaker who table stewarded all day both days.
