Luray 2017
Up next on the AAC calendar is another one of our jewels (but hey, aren’t they all?): Luray.
This year’s version of the Luray Festival of Spring will take place on Saturday, May 13, in beautiful Luray, VA. Registration will begin at 11:00 am, with events starting at 11:30 am. We’ll be running four games, roughly along the following schedule (time and weather permitting):
- Timed Retrieve: 11:30 am-12:30 pm
- Advanced & Pro Freestyle: 12:30-1 pm
- Toss-Fetch: 1-2 pm
- Beginner Freestyle: 2-2:30 pm
- Bullseye: 2:30-3:30 pm
If you’re planning to come, or even thinking about it and know what song you want to use for freestyle, please email the song to Ellen Oberholtzer with your dog’s name and freestyle level (Beginner, Advanced, or Pro). In order to make the event run more smoothly, we will create a playlist on one device of everyone’s freestyle music. (If it’s not an edited song and you just want to send the name of the song, we’ll get a copy of the song.)
We have a new laptop with a large source of music, so if you’re looking for a song somewhere out of pop’s history chances are we have it.
For those interested in staying in the area, the Days Inn is a great place for the dogs, and several club members stay there. There are large fields surrounding the building. We will be having a potluck after the event at the Days Inn (you don’t need to be staying there to join in!). If you know what you’re planning to bring, please post to our forum so we can get a variety of food. Also, the potluck will be a BYOB event for beverages, so plan accordingly.
As usual, we’ll need help running the event, so we’ll be looking for judges, announcers, registration and data entry help, as well as help with set-up and breakdown. Please let us know if you’ll be able to help out.
Looking forward to a fun time!
