Here is the flyer for WRAG’s Jul 4/5 fun day and NOTRA race meet:

WRAG Fun Day and NOTRA Race Meet

Saturday, July 4th – Fun Day

Sunday, July 5th – NOTRA Meet – 270 yds, drag lure, four 4-dog programs

WRAG is hosting a combination Fun Day and Oval Race meet on July 4th weekend at the Sowards’ place – 2220 Glenwood Hwy, Goldendale, WA.

Saturday’s FUN Day – 10:00 am until the fun runs out!

We will have practice runs for pups and adults, as well as clinics on various race jobs:

  • Inspection Committee – including measuring
  • Placing (line) Judge
  • Foul Judge
  • Starter (box operator)
  • Paddock Official
  • (Due to the time and practice needed, there will be limited opportunity to learn lure operation.)

There will be a barbeque by the popular Gary’s BBQ (donations welcome) and a dessert potluck – so bring out those special recipes and whip up some fine desserts! There’ll be a prize for the best one!

Sunday’s NOTRA Meet

Inspection from 9:30 to 10:00 am, with draw promptly at 10:00am and racing thereafter.

We will be doing handicapped racing, with prizes for the top ten handicapped scores. Please note: handicapping does not affect official meet placements or points.

1st hound $14, 2nd/3rd hounds $10/each, $35 kennel rate.

Since this is a small club, we will need everyone to help out, particularly Place and Foul Judging. Sunday is sack lunch day and bottled water on ice will be provided. We will have a cooling pool for the dogs and walk-through mister in case of hot weather.

As usual there are some hookups for RVs, water, plenty of camping, a porta-potty (a new one is being delivered), swimming, and hiking down to the creek. Since there is limited shade, please bring your own shade in case it’s hot.

Please send all entries to Leanne Harrington at harril3@comcast.net.  Please include call name and NOTRA number. Other questions or directions? Call Jo Sowards, Race Director, at 509.773.3876 or e-mail shadowrunwhippet@hughes.net .
