As always we had a great time at our Dance into Spring event we had on April 7th. We want to thank Rick K and the Allnighters with great performances
year after year, as well as promoter Sam Loretta from Play it Again Promotions.
And Larry & Angela Policano for their support.
We hope to see you at next years event (date to be announced).
Rick K and the All Nighters Dance into Spring was a Huge Success!
Humans and dogs alike had a great time at the 2nd Tails & Trails Event. Although we had to change the original date due to cold & rain, the May 20th date was perfect weather. This year was at the VA Park and Rail Trail head. We hope to keep building this event, to not only showcase our dogs, but to see the amazing trails available here locally. Make sure to check out Harrison Rail Trails on Facebook. They are doing good things in our community.
We always appreciate PDC Energy , as with their help this year we were able to freshen up the front of the building with some new paint.
