BUT I would hate for us to try to put it together so quickly that it doesn't work. This is going to take some time to put together properly. It could be the beginning of something useful or fun or both. If we don't do a proper job of it and make it as perfect as possible it could backfire. And I think this fall is way too early as much as I would love to see it happen. I would hope we could attach it to either a CKCSC or AKC weekend to make it worthwhile for all to attend. One fun picnic/health or history information day for everyone and two days for show people since I think they have the most to win or lose in making this work. I think we need to organize a committee first and go from there to let them investigate the possibilities. To be fair I believe the committee should include pet owners, show/breeders, agility/obedience owners from both camps. I must say the 8th annual Colorado Picnic that we went to this last weekend that included all Cavaliers, pet, show, rescue babies was great fun. We can take a lesson from the organizers of that event. Fifty-two owners showed up with 40 Cavaliers. 29 signed up for the heart clinic and 20 for the eye doctor. The first person I would nominate for the committee is Carolyn Peterson who was one of the people instrumental in organizing this event. She already has 8 years behind her. I bet there are others out there who have the same credentials. Let's hear about them and get a committee in gear to put together a mission statement as to purpose so there is no confusion as to why we may want to have this event.
