bcollie Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 This seemed like a good way to let people know what is going on for the Finals next month so thought I would post. I have also posted this elsewhere so no need to read if you have already read this. The web page for the event is www.sheepdogfinals.com and there you can find directions to the event, ticket prices, lodging and everything else you might want to know. We are getting calls from people looking for a place to stay and work dogs prior to the Finals so we have added a page with info for that. The pre-event publication goes to press next week so please contact me if you would like to have an ad included. This has a circulation of 30,000 and is distributed all over the western US. If you would like copies to put out in your location, please let me know. In addition, there will be a souvenir program at the Finals. The ad deadline for that is September 1st. The tshirts will be ready in 10 days so watch the web page for those. Caps are already available as well as tickets to Baxter Black and to the Finals. These can all be purchased on our web page or by calling me at 530-664-2168. The sheep are Coopworth and Coopworth crosses from Don Gnos of Albany, Oregon. These are from the same flock as 1997 and 2001. These are fun to work, respond well to dogs who treat them nicely but they make you pay for rash work. Camping onsite is limited to handlers, vendors, volunteers and VIP pass holders. Others can find RV camping on our web page under lodging. We are still looking for volunteers so please contact Amy Coapman at raynamy@sisqtel.net if you would like to help. It looks like we have people entered from 27 states and 4 provinces. Several of you coming may not have been here before so please contact us if you would like to know about more things to do in the area. We are setting up a tour of the Wildlife Refuge as well as having a bus going to Kla-mo-ya Casino. There will be great food and lots of fun places to shop at in our trade show. We have several extra activities planned for the weekend including a cow dog demo,a drug dog demo and agility and obedience demos. Baxter Black will be there signing books on Saturday as well as having a meet and greet reception Saturday evening followed by a great show. Please drop me an email or give me a call with any questions or suggestions. Thanks and hope to see everyone in a little over 6 weeks. Wow, guess I had better start working my dog!

bcollie Posted August 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Carolyn- We will be filming the event and will be producing a video. If you want to purchase your individual run, please let us know in advance so we make sure we get the run in its entirety. There will be an official photographer who will be selling prints. Thanks Geri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
