LRCGB OTTER TALES Issue 15 September 2006 Upcoming Events • Worcester Kennel Club November 24, 25, 26, 2006 • April Hunt Test April 28, 29, 2007 June Specialty By Lois Engel Well , Greater Boston has moved to a new show site that the exhibitors loved and I hope we will stay at this site for many years to come. The Middlesex 4H Fairgrounds in Westford MA. We had to share the grounds on Wednesday with the Corgi club who were doing Agility. They finished up a little later than expected but the Rau Mother and Daughter team worked right into the schedule and had everything ready to set up. The Fairgrounds has many buildings and the decision was made earlier in the year to give one covered Pavilion to Rally and one to Obedience. The 4-H people were to have raked out and cleaned up those pavilions before our arrival, but as it turned out they had not raked and that had to be done by us early on Thursday. With the exception of a couple Obedience people, this arrangement worked out • Spring Match May 6, 2007 • Agility Trial May 19, 2007 • June Specialty June 14 & 15, 2007 • Working Certificate July 2007 (Continued on page 3) President’s Corner Mark your calendars!

Let me mention here Sue Willumsen who is the Queen of Decor. Sue brought in a full size van loaded to the roof with decorations and flowers, some people just have the knack. Sue turned our show site into what can only be called a festive look. Flowers were everywhere, Sue’s hanging and spinning whirlygigs were so neat. I have gone to a million shows but none that looked so much like a fun party. Thank You Sue. Sue donated all of the decorations and flowers to the Friday Raffle and the winners were just thrilled to be able to take home these lush colorful plants. I must say that Brian and Elly Hawkins as Chief Stewards were just awesome. They had a big chart all done up and were soooo organized it makes me blush to remember when I was Chief Steward and had to rely on pulling notes from my pockets. Brian and Elly, you are the just the best. Good stewards make the judges job so much easier and help get us done in a timely manner. I want to thank Jeanne Charest who chaired the obedience and ran it like a tight ship. She had good efficient judges and on Friday when the brutal heat kicked in I am sure they were glad to have that Pavilion under the trees. Jeanne is organized and efficient, a must have quality. This was our first year for Rally, we were lucky to get judges at all but we got great judges. All of the judges and workers and exhibitors loved the site, my undying gratitude to Ann Lofgren (LRCPV) who found the judges for me and the ball was then literally tossed to Gayle Abrams who ran her rally ring smoothly and efficiently. On Friday we were short a couple of rally helpers and a few of the kids jumped in and now know what Rally is and want to start training- HOORAY education is a bonus. I did not get all the names of the helpers for Rally and Obedience but my Thanks to you all. We set up all of the club tables and the Raffle and the vendors and the show secretary tables under the huge pavilion near the breed rings, this year we were all cool and dry. We had pop ups and tents for the breed rings but in future we should move more of the bigger tents into the breed rings for shade. Our breed judges Barbara Gilchrist and Lisa WeissNolechek made all the exhibitors feel welcome and Our Sweeps judges Andrew MacArthur and Connie Grenier did a wonderful job and again made the exhibitors feel welcome and put everyone at ease. It is so important to have Sweeps judges who are quiet and patient with the puppies, often this is their first time in the ring and they are goofy and just a bit frightened. Thanks Andrew and Connie for making this a good experience for them. Thursday night was our Lobster Dinner with chefs Scott Shaw and Dick Kennedy standing in for Emeril and Ming. Even though the reservations got off to a slow start due to my pricing error and the economy, when it came to the day we had some 40 reservations. The “chowda” was fabulous, the steamers fresh and juicy, and thanks to collaboration between Marion Lyons and Scott, the “lobstas” were just off the boat and cooked to perfection, there was chicken for the non-lobster crowd, and the best part - we got to go for seconds on the chowder and steamers. WOW great job guys. Then came the time I had been dreading - THE CLEANUP. I announced a few times that volunteers were needed to help put the chairs and tables away and organize the trash. My fears were growing as I saw people headed back to their cars and leaving but then my angels started arriving. I want to say a big HUGE Thank You to Cheryl Swift who was ready and able to do any and all chores all day and was a huge help in the clean up. I did not get all of the names but Thanks to the wonderful gentleman who opened up his mini van PAGE 4 OTTER and loaded all the tables and chairs back to the storage shed, to everyone who gathered up the trash and dragged it to the dumpster, to the wonderful Mom with two kids who live down the road and stayed to clean up with us, and she does not even belong to our club! Special thanks to Scott Shaw who is always there to set up and to break down, Pam Nolin-Shaw for making sure our judges were welcomed and taken care of. Robin Magee for preparing and running the 2 days of Raffles which brought in a lot of extra cash for the club. Thanks to Hartley Scribner from Cocker Spaniel Rescue of New England for coming in to do the breakfast and lunches, the food was great and the prices reasonable. Hartley does this on his own and mostly by himself, I think he was caught a little off guard by the number of customers he had, service got a little slow at lunch time but again thanks to Scott Shaw and Bob Gilchrist (yes, the husband of our judge) for stepping in to give Hartley a hand. I was very proud to be a part of this show, I heard many rave reviews from exhibitors and the judges, many agreeing that GB puts on a heck of a show. Everyone was pleased that the whole site is tree covered so parking was close to the rings and no one had to park in the sun. My apologies to the Obedience folks, I should have remembered to present the Obedience awards in the main breed ring just before Breed. I am sure I forgot to mention someone who worked hard but you have my gratitude and be sure to give your name to Karen Kennedy so that you can get work credit. Special thanks go out to Barb Burri and Gerrie Owren who gathered and organized all the trophies TALES ISSUE 15 SEPTEMBER 2006 The Potomac, 2006 By Robin Anderson What a fabulous time everyone had all week at this year's Potomac show! Every day was promising in terms of weather, and the look on all the faces of the participants was glowing. Only one morning threatened to be dismal weather-wise, but by lunchtime the sun pushed its way out of the cloud cover and the raingear vanished back into the hotel rooms. As usual, the show was more busy than any Ringling Brothers Three Ring Circus with so many beautiful dogs and decked out handlers every place you looked. Every woman looked beautiful in their new spring clothes. All the gents looked like they were ready for a garden party. After the long cold winter everyone was ready to look spiffy and have some fun. All the dogs were excited to be showing outdoors in large rings with all their canine buddies. Socializing with old friends and making new ones completed the party atmosphere. The Veterans Ring on Wednesday night was both joyful and tearful: Joyful to see all our favorite dogs that are in many of our youngsters' pedigrees, and tearful because there are some old timers who still want to prance and do their best to please us. All the seasoned dogs entering the ring received the applause they love and they virtually danced their way around the ring. The room was packed to the ceiling with buzzing spectators. The Labrador Retriever Club of the Potomac did a beautiful job arranging desserts and drinks ringside for the gallery. Our personal adventure really got off to a bang on Wednesday afternoon when the Superintendent announced a 'found' dog at his table. We were watching one of the classes and never thought it could be one of our dogs, since we had just come from the van and knew all our dogs were safely OTTER ISSUE 15 SEPTEMBER 2006 TALES PAGE 5 tucked away. As the Superintendent kept up the description of the found dog, we decided we had better check, 'just in case' it was one of ours. Imagine our horror and relief when we saw it was one of our own young pups! Dazzle had somehow escaped from the crate in the van and wandered to say 'hello' to the people in the van next to ours. After that incident, the puppy was locked securely in her crate in case she got the hankering to visit the neighbors again. Thank goodness Labradors are friendly. Several others escaped from crates and pens during the week and were safely caught and returned to their owners. Shopping at the Potomac is always fun. Picking up the new issue of Julie Brown, buying little gifts for the dogs left behind, trying on new clothes and getting new leads for the spring show season are fun ways to spend a lunch break. It's wise to save some cash after the holidays for the vendors' booths at this show. Friday's Best of Breed Competition was incredible, with our own Marianne Rousseau and Dickens (CH Saltmeadow Dickens at Cedarbay) making it almost to the very end of the competition. Marianne and Dickens were dressed alike in a combination of blacks and reds, and they both worked very hard for that last look from the judge. Congratulations to both Marianne and Dickens for a job well done. And congratulations to all our club members who placed and made the cut in all their classes. No trip to the Potomac is complete without a stop at Cabela's. Our van made the side trip before heading the rest of the way back home to New England, and it was worth the delay. With more money spent, we got back on the road and arrived home well after dark and long after our bedtimes. Unpacking had to wait until morning while we dreamed of traveling to the Potomac in 2007.
