10th Annual Specialty Show July 20!

The 10th Annual Columbia-Willamette Beagle Club Specialty Show is fast approaching on July 20. Show Chair Ken Jorgenson and his committee have planned a super special event for this hallmark occasion, including a raffle with lots of terrific prizes, and a ringside potluck following the show. Judges for the show will be Leah Bertagnolli, puppy & veteran sweeps; Carol Esterkin, Jr. Handling & Breed; and Carl Lenz, obedience and rally obedience.

The show, which usually attracts as many as 100 entries from throughout the western United States and Canada, will be at the Portland Metropolitan Exposition Center, beginning at 8:00 a.m. The club website (www.cwbeagles.com) should have a definite schedule posted by July 13.

Join us as we celebrate our 10th Annual Specialty with the following special events:

8 A.M. (or shortly thereafter) the SHOW begins with Puppy and Veteran Sweeps, followed by Junior Handling, then the Breed Competition. Exact times, including obedience and Rally times will be announced after entries close.

After the Potluck— General CWBC Membership July meeting, followed by the Board Meeting.

No Host Dinner and Social at Who-Song & Larry’s Restaurant & Cantina on the Columbia River in Vancouver, WA. CBWC has reserved a room beginning at 6:30 p.m. so that we can visit with our out-of-town guests (including our judges) at the Portland area’s premiere madcap Mexican watering hole.

Since the venue for the CWBC Specialty has changed again this year there are some other changes from our past events.

We will not be having a common parking area for the beagle exhibitors who come with their RV's, so if there are those of you that want to park with friends you will have to arrange that yourselves with the parking chairman of the Portland Kennel Club.

Instead of an outdoor BBQ as we had last year we are going to have a potluck in the exhibitor's building shortly after judging is completed. I am hoping that we can be located near an exit door so that I can set up a grill to grill up some fresh caught salmon from the Pacific ocean at Depoe Bay OR. Last years catch was a big hit and I have a week off prior to the specialty to once again try my fishing skills and bring my contribution to the pot luck.

We have reserved a room at the rocking Mexican restaurant, 'Who Song and Larry's' for Saturday night, the 21st, for a no host dinner and social. 'Who Song and Larry's' is situated right along the Columbia river and is known for it's wacky hat wearing wait staff and where fun and good times are guaranteed!!! CWBC will provide rides from the show grounds for those that need one, contact Claudia Anderson for more information

Leah Bertagnoli who is judging sweeps and Barb Scherer who is judging beagles on Sat. at the all breed are looking forward to meeting old friends and making some new ones.

From the April 2007 Newsletter - - The show will be on Friday, July 20, 2007 at the Portland Expo Center. Specialty premium is expected to be mailed around June 5, 2007. As always, we are hoping for generous trophy donations from our members and friends.
