We started friday night with a community potluck dinner that about 70 people attended. Dale Evans cooked up some scrumptious tri-tips that people raved about all evening and the next day! Everyone else contributed so much food that we had more than enough for all. It was a delightful evening, even if it got a little cool. Thanks to all who attended and made it such fun!

Saturday morning started a full day of festivities for all kinds of dog lovers. A beautiful autumn day on Willow Lake made the outdoor fun particularly inviting.

Outdoor vendors showing off their wares!
From dog sleds to hand made yard items, you could find some excellent, well made items here.
The hands on mini seminars in the morning proved quite popular. Two that were outdoors enjoying the day were: The Anchorage Skijor Club racing teams around the Community Center with bikes and three wheeled carts. Looked like a lot of fun!
