TXWAG 2011 SUMMER MEETING — A Day at the Dog Show!

This year’s TXWAG meeting is going to be something different — a day at
Houston’s Reliant Center for the Beaumont Kennel Club dog show on Saturday,
July 23.

These are the plans as they stand now:

The Reliant “World Series of Dog Shows,” as they call the weekend, is a four-
day weekend of big shows which attract dogs from all around the country. In
addition, the winners of a Houston kids’ dog art show occupy a place of honor
near the entrance to the show. AKC always has a large presence, as do other dog-
oriented organizations. Many local rescue groups come, bringing dogs and filling
up a whole aisle near the shopping area. And let me tell you about the shopping
area. Great, just great!

We will have our own meeting room for socializing, lunch and our annual
meeting. The Reliant center will be catering a light luncheon, cold cuts and
sandwiches, probably, though a menu isn’t planned yet. We can watch the WTs
show, too, of course.

I hope we can also take part in the Meet the Breeds. This event takes place in a
corralled –off area at the show hall where a few breeds at a time are featured;
the public is invited to come, see and pet — and they do! The area is always
swarming with people – lots of kids, too. Though unentered dogs aren’t welcome
at shows, Meet the Breeds dogs in the past have not always been showdogs.
More information about that later, the show premium list will have all the details
when it comes out.

So pencil in this date, and we’ll get more info out to you as it becomes available.
This should be a nice relaxing day out of the July heat!

More Later!

President, TXWAG
