Our Sweepstakes Judge will be Ms Sosanna Folz of Connecticut . Deb Broad has now taken over as the new Show Chairman. However, since she is currently busy with preparations for our Club Championship, Sandra Kretz is continuing to put together the paperwork with AKC etc. We are in the final stages of completing our trophy pledges. This year, Tom White will be designing a whole new "look" for the beautiful hand made ceramic table ware we offer as prizes each year. Sandra will be contacting Katahdin members in the next week for trophy pledges. As always, we appreciate so much the support of our members and friends which allows us to have one of the nicest specialties on the East Coast.
