Thursday evening fun runs

Hey Everybody!
We are starting our evening fun runs and practices for lure coursing and earth dog at the Ribarchek field in Palmer. These will start May 31, and continue every Thursday until August 16. And we will be there unless there is a torrenchal downpour or hurricane force winds. ED is still done in the rain.
There are 2 dates we will not be there due to dog show preparation and travel. These are July 12 and August 2.
Set up will be at 6:30pm and runs will commence afterwards.
These runs are open to all breeds of dogs, young and old, provided they are healthy enough to run or crawl.
Please dress for the weather. Make sure you bring what you need for your dog’s comfort… water, crate, blankets, etc.
There will be no portapotties on site. And we do expect you to clean up after your dog.
Dogs are expected to be on leash, in the car or in a crate unless they are actually running the lure or crawling the tunnels.
The Ribarchek field is across from the South or Red Gate of the State Fairgrounds. You’ll have to drive through the parking lot toward the Red Gate (where we enter for the November dog shows). The field is on your right. There is a drive way a little ways down the line of trees (not along the paved road). Look for the other cars.
Any questions, please email Mary Hermon at blkmrble@mtaonline.net
Hope to see you all there!!
