SMKC DOG SHOWS NEXT WEEK

Salisbury Md. Kennel Club, Inc.

This is just a note to remind you that there will be FIVE (5) days of dog shows at the Civic Center on Nov 5 (Wed), 6 (Thur), 7 (Fri), 8 (Sat) and 9 (Sun).  Each day is a completely separate dog show.  There are approximately 5,000 entries in total for the five days.   Daily admission is $5.00 (Students $1.00, Age 5&< Free).  Five-day Catalog is $12.00.  NO STROLLERS allowed.  Unentered dogs are not allowed except for the SATURDAYCARDIAC AND EYE HEALTH CLINICS WHICH ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.(www.easternshoreclassic.com to enroll.)

At our invitation, the Talbot Kennel Club will host the Wednesday and Thursday dog shows and the Mispillion Kennel Club will host the Sunday dog show. Salisbury Md Kennel Club will host Friday and Saturday shows.  This year we also welcome the BLACK RUSSIAN TERRIER CLUB NATIONAL SPECIALTY SHOW which will be held separately, but during our regular show on Saturday.

The Salisbury Md Kennel Club was incorporated in 1954 for the purpose of furthering an interest in pure-bred dogs in our community.  We are IRS-approved non-profit, with an all volunteer membership. Donations to SMKC CHARITABLE TRUST are solicited and are "IRS 501(c)(3)" tax-deductible.  This is our 61st year of service to our community.  A portion of our profits from operations has been regularly donated to support local dog-related projects.  Continuing projects are to equip the police K-9's on the lower shore with safety/bullet-proof vests, equip k-9 police cars with special safety devices, and to visit classrooms to teach children about the love and care of their pets.

We built a "state of the art" 8,000 sq.ft. building at 31663 Winterplace Parkway where we have training classes and mini dog shows year-round.   We also hold twelve days of Agility trials throughout the year at the Crown building in Fruitland, and we are host to POODLE CLUB OF AMERICA'S INTERNATIONAL DOG SHOW.  Our goal is to make our area the dog show capital of the East Coast.

Thank you for your attendance and support to help make our shows successful.

Barbara Furbush, Show Chairman
