Lake States Grouse Dog Championship UPDATED COURSE INFORMATION

I have been notified by last week’s club directors and judges that course 14 in the Gladwin Field Trial grounds did not work out as expected due to its shortness of time in the one-hour stake. Therefore, course changes will be made for next week’s championship. Simply we will eliminate course 14 and start 15 at the berm. The changes ARE also stated below. THERE ARE NO CHANGES TO THE DRAWING ORDER. If you have any questions, please contact me Lonnie Rademacher at 517-303-9616, or email me at radema43@gmail.com
Sorry for the inconvenience
Lonnie Rademacher.

Welcome to the 82nd Annual Lake States Grouse Dog Championship. This year we have an outstanding entry and thank everyone for participating. This is updated course information. The draw remains the same.

Daily, we will meet at the Alibi Hall by 7:30, leaving the Alibi Hall by 7:45 to head out to the courses. We will begin on Tuesday, October 20th on courses 1-2. We will use all current available courses 1-2, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9, 10-11, 12-13, and 15-16. We will begin course 15 at the berm like last year. We will run 7 braces a day, take a coffee break after the 2nd brace of the day, going back into the Alibi after the 4th brace of the day for lunch and complete the last three braces of the day after lunch. We will begin each day on course 1-2. On Saturday, we will run the final 5 braces. Coffee after the 2nd brace, lunch after the 4th brace and finish the last brace after lunch. We will make the championship announcements at the end of the running on Saturday at the Alibi Hall. Judges Eric and Anni Naus, Tyler Miller – Reporter.

DERBY INFORMATION REMAINS THE SAME:
We will run the derby beginning on Sunday, October 25. Again, we will meet at the Alibi at 7:30 a.m., leave at 7:45 to begin brace one on course 1. We will use courses 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12. We want to keep things rolling so we will have coffee after the 4th brace and do a tailgate lunch so that we can keep things rolling along to get handlers on their way home as soon as possible. Announcements at the Alibi Hall after the day’s running. Judges Lonnie Rademacher and Mike Francus.

We will have a handler’s dinner on Friday night at approximately 6:30ish after the day’s run has been completed.

As usual, we will need all the help we can get so that we can have 2 marshals per brace and plenty of vehicle movers. All help is appreciated.
