Dog Day in the Park - Needles CA

Las Vegas DockDogs had a good time at the Dog Day in the Park event in Needles, CA.

Brianne Durham from our club was an excellent announcer and very entertaining. She represented LVDD to the highest degree. Bob Lockwood worked with the newbies and Laura Lockwood was fantastic with the amazing 'Ryder' doing Extreme Vertical demos. Lynn Ward did a number of Big Air demos with Pacho.

We have a number of events coming up quickly, so I'd like to close nominations and open up voting pretty soon. Let's have nominations in by Friday January 13th at 12pm PST.

Once I receive all of the nominations, I will contact the nominees to let them know they have an opportunity to accept or decline the nomination. We are not just looking for a warm body to fill the position, we are looking for people to dedicate some time and effort towards the club to help make this our best year ever!
