Please soak up the premium and if you have any questions, please feel free to call me, Paul Hanson: 320-493-6055 or email: [email protected].
Handlers, if you can volunteer for a few hours during the week while you are here it is greatly appreciated. Veteran National handlers know it is not an inconvenience and “it takes a village.” We do not want to interfere with you running your dog and will make sure if you are helping, you will get back to the line in time to watch 10-12 dogs. Help is needed for the Line Marshals, Hostess, and Traffic Committees. If you would like to offer some time, please reach out to the Committee Chairs listed in the premium. Lets Go! |
