Thank you to our team who had things ready and kept things rolling over the 2 days. Ann and Eric Naus arrived early in the week, checking the grounds for playability, cutting a few large fallen trees blocking various roads. Reporting on a road we should avoid. The also put in 2 solid days as Marshalls, getting folks thru the courses, moving vehicles. Diane Wheelock, Rob Ellis also on courses as Marshalls and drivers moving and assisting handlers and horses. Marc and Betsy Dozen for the morning breakfast burritos, they have become a tradition the last few years. Marc, along with Ken Moss rode horses, a number of times in a pouring rain, for 8 braces judging our one-of-a-kind, Michigan Hunting Dog Classic. Rich Hollister. our wrangler, Club VP, Shooting Dog Judge kept the Hunting Dog stake rolling.
Our very attentive judges, thank you for accepting our generous offer to walk or ride in some testy conditions. Thank you to all the participants who stepped to move trucks and marshall and show patience as we sorted through a few delays.

Puppy, Tom Vanacek and Bill Darr traveled from metro Detroit to judge our Puppy Classic. They volunteered to return in the fall and do it again.

Derby, Tammy Chaffee and Nick Brown kept things rolling thru the rain, walking 10 braces of derby. They barely stopped for lunch. I'm sure they slept well Saturday night.

Hunting Dog, Ken Moss and Marc Dozeman, they both volunteered early this year and did a great job.
Tyler Miller volunteered to be our reporter, walking countless braces, working with the judges on braces he couldn't walk. Tyler reported the Region 13 Championship last fall, it was a very well written report.

Thank you all.
