2008 West Virginia State Fair
August 8 - 10, 2008
Steve Sozio and Twister made the long drive to West Virginia before our club event to compete in Extreme Vertical. When they got there, only one other dog was signed up for EV. To make it worth his long drive, Steve opened his wallet and supported another dog's EV efforts. Twister did not disappoint. She was the only dog to grab 5'0", and then reached a personal best of 5'6", taking 1st in the Cadet EV competition. The huge West Virginia crowd wanted to see more. Twister kept going for some demo in EV, grabbing 5'8"...5'10"...then nudging 6'0" but the bumper didn't fall. The crowd voiced their approval, and Steve made the drive back up to Warren County.
There were not a lot of dogs on Weekend One of the West Virginia Fair but the few that were there were greeted by nice weather and huge crowds. Tasha made her return to the dock in one wave and worked the crowds the whole weekend and managed to collect $265.00 for the Chase. Harry jumped in three waves and both dogs made the Amatuer Final. Tasha came in 4th and Harry edged her out for 3rd.
Congratulations to the three teams competing! For complete Club Stats click here and for complete Event Results here.
