April 2010

Thanks everyone who came to play at our April 2010 NADAC trial. We had a blast with (mostly) awesome weather, some really cool courses to run, great judge, and an awesome after-trial Yappy Hour and picnic (officiated by Joslyn the SchutzenPom!). It was great to see so many friends again and we were happy to have a few new ones! Special thanks to all our workers for their efforts and to our fantastic judge Dwyane Bonker!
