CCC trial update

by Beth Levine

The Field Chairman for this weekend’s CCC AKC trials in North Bend, WA asked me to post this announcement:

To the exhibitors coming to the CCC AKC lure coursing tests/trials this  weekend, July 17 and 18:

Due to circumstances beyond our control, our usual caterer is unable to provide her services to us this weekend.

Please note, we will provide coffee and muffins in the mornings.  Lunch and snacks will be the responsibility of each exhibitor.  There is potable water (and we will have cooling pools available as well.)

There are markets, coffee shops and fast food within 10 minutes of the field, both in Snoqualmie and North Bend.  The Mt. Si Golf Course is less than 5 minutes from the field and has sandwiches, etc. as well as beverage machines.

HOWEVER, due to several local festivities, traffic in parts of the town of Snoqualmie and North Bend will be congested.  PLEASE plan to allow extra time if you need to travel on Railroad Ave. (SR 202) in Snoqualmie and North Bend Way (SR202) in North Bend, either to get to the trial or to get lunch.

We will have routing suggestions available at the field.  This may be a good time for a old PB and J from home!

Thank you for your understanding.  Call Carol at 425-890-2220 if you have questions.
