• 7:45
  Speaker 2: are counties that we cover for that show. And that'll
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: be at Canine Junction in Davis Junction this year and
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: check and we'll start at eight thirty for those of
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: you that are showing, and the show will start at nine.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: We start with agility and then we move into all
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: the other classes. We've got karen grooming, obedience, rally, showmanship,

  Speaker 2: all that good stuff. Make sure to bring snacks if
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: you're going to be there all day. There's outside space.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: The parking is kind of limited, so again, carpool if
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: you're coming with a lot of people, try to carpool.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it'll be It was a good time last year.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: It worked out really well. Yeah, the kids had a
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: good time. June twenty eighth.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Thank you again. June the twenty eighth, and this will
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: be a Canine Junction in Davis Junction, Illinois. Now we've
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: moved our four h dog show to a different venue
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: than the fair grounds. We've took it away, take it
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: un away from the fair Grounds. We've done this though
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: for the last couple of years and again have moved
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: it now to Canine Junction just for competition. And now
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: is this just Lee keunty this?
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: So this is de kalb Ogel, Carol, Lee and Whiteside.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: We all do our dog shows then.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: So okay, so it's going to be a multi time everybody. Yeah,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: it's going to be a multi county dog show. That
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: and that's what makes it, I guess, more congestion, as
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: you're talking about with the parking and all that. It's
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: going to be more congestion because there's five counties participating
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: in this dog show. On June the twenty eighth, again
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: at Canine Junction in Davis Junction, Illinois. Check in starts
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: at eight thirty and again the dog show will start
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: right after that. And again those competitors should probably have
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: the paperwork and all that, right already.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I think you've got a waiver for Canine Junction that's
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: on when you checked in. We'll have those print it
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: out for you too if you forget.
