We were very proud to co-host Flyball at K9 Sport Fest with our friends at Crossing Borders Flyball Team!! It was our first experience hosting as a team, and it was exciting to be doing it at such a large event as K9 Sport Fest!! Between the heat wave and the tornado warnings, with the torrential downpour Saturday evening that wrecked many canopy's and tents, there were many memorable moments!!
Thank you to Crossing Borders first and foremost for being such great comrades and showing us the ropes. We can appreciate the amount of work and effort that goes into hosting a tournament, and you guys were amazing. Thank you to Eukanuba and K9 Sport Fest for donating the beautiful placement ribbons and cash prizes; and PureForm Pet Health Supplements for donating gift certificates for our honorable mention dogs! Congrats to Pauline (Game On Flyball Racing), Breeze, Walker (Paws on Fire Flyball Club), Vegas (POF) & Abbie (Syracuse Flyball) for being extra special this weekend!!
