- If anyone's having issues with the website using Firefox or Safari, let me know. I haven't tested it with them, but I will if someone's using them.
The look and feel has changed a lot more than I had planned with the transition. Michelle Tennis created and maintained the original Geocities site (Thank you Michelle!), but it was easier to build new formatting than strip out all the Frontpage and Geocities code. I've tried to move all the original content over. If you can't find something that used to be on the site, let me know and I'll add it back in. The appearance of the site is definitely a work in progress. I'm aware that it looks funky in Firefox. Please just use MS Explorer for now. It will get fixed. If you have suggestions, I'd like to hear them!
Upcoming Events
The next big event is the Spring Show in April 2008. Jeanne Nonhof is the show chair. The Spring Show includes Conformation and Obedience at the county fairgrounds, and there's a 1-day Agility Trial on the clubhouse grounds as well.
