One of the perks of writing a blog is choosing what I want to say on it...so to that end, today is the day we're talking about American Spaniel Club 2014. I have prepared the trophy list and sent it out to the two WSS list-serves, and I am posting the information here, also. I encourage you to donate to support this wonderful show. There is no trophy funding support from WSSCA or ASC for these trophies. The rosettes are purchased by ASC, but we cover the cost of the rosettes to assure that everyone gets a special memento of their win. We here at Rysan Welsh Springers acquire all the trophies on our own nickel, and we're asking only for reimbursement to cover their cost. Any unassigned trophies are donated by us-all listed trophies will be awarded, regardless of whether a sponsor is found.
We are offering a BEAUTIFUL print by WSS breeder and talented artist Pat Pencak as the Best of Breed trophy this year. It will be mounted and matted to make a great addition to Welshie art work. This year we are showcasing the lovely GCWSSC Tapestry/Throw Blanket as our BOS award. We hope that when people from all over the country see how beautiful it is, they will be interested in buying one for themselves. If you can't attend the show and you want to own one yourself, contact Carla Vooris for information. I am indebted to the Greater Chesapeake WSS Club for their ongoing support of the ASC show and their generosity in providing help in managing the trophy donations and the trophy table at the show site.
The ASC show is to be held on January 10-12 , 2014 in Knoxville TN at the Knoxville Convention Center, directly ACROSS the street from the host hotel. Access to the KCC will be much easier since there are multiple bays allowing drive-up access-YEAH! The host hotel is is still the Holiday Inn Worlds Fair - 525 Henley Street, Knoxville, TN. I've confirmed with the Show Chair that the rate is still $101/night, but you must tell them you are part of the ASC group to get the rate.
The schedule for WSS on the show weekend is:
Friday, 10 January 2014:
Obedience and Rally Trials
Sweepstakes for Puppies and Veterans - Welsh Springer Spaniels
Saturday, 11 January 2014:
Breed judging by Sandra Lex-Classes through WD/WB
Sunday, 12 January 2014:
Breed judging by Sandra Lex-Veteran/Hunting, Best of Breed, Best Puppy and Best Veteran in breed (NEW)
