Even though our main event stake, the Amateur Shooting Dog Classic, had to be cancelled due to on going timbering operations, the Black Ash Trial team is looking forward to seeing all of our trial friends at this event on Sunday. It should be a lot of fun, & by the looks of especially the number of Derby entrants, a very competitive event!
Also, we'd like to invite & welcome any & all who may not "have a dog in the fight" but would like to watch. Gallery are welcome. Thanks for all of the entrees. See you all on Sunday.
