First, a HUGE THANK YOU to the members of the 2024 Show Committee that hosted our National Specialty Show in Knoxville, Tennessee. They did an outstanding job at making sure that everything went well and everyone had what they needed. As always, there were some challenges, and they met each one with success. They are now due their well-deserved break. But, if you were there, please send an email or post to their Facebook page to let them know their jobs were well done.
Now that Knoxville is in the rearview mirror, it is time to look forward to the 2025 National that will be held at the Roberts Centre in Wilmington, Ohio. This facility was built by Royal Canin/Eukanuba and is geared towards dog shows. Scroll down this email to see some of the information about the facility and surrounding area as well as the tentative schedule, logowear information and Facebook page. There will be an order form for logowear available through the club in addition to the Zazzle site that is available for specialty items including additional colors and sizes of shirts.
Check the CCCI website at www.chowclub.org often for National Specialty 2025 updates as new/updated information will be added as obtained including sponsorship forms and logowear order forms.
