NO space for Spectators at Indoor Trials

Our apologies. We have limited crating/seating space at our indoor trials (March, April, May, September, October and November, 2008), therefore, we are unable to welcome Spectators.
Unfortunately, Spectators will have to be turned away.


We have one "outdoor" trial in 2008 (July 26/27) where we're VERY happy to welcome spectators!
Bring your own seating and come prepared for all weather.
Thank you for your understanding.

November 22 Dream Fields Volunteer Appreciation Day!

Our volunteers are very important to us as we cannot host agility trials without them. Once a year we recognize our volunteers at our "Dream Fields Volunteer Appreciation Day". The 2008 Volunteer Appreciation Aution will be held on SATURDAY November 22nd - MARK THIS DATE ON YOUR CALENDAR! The Volunteer Appreciation Day is an afternoon where the volunteers bring their dogs and participate in some serious "play", partake of gourmet gastric offerings, and go home with both recognition and rewards!

The Volunteer Appreciation Day is our way of saying "Thank You" to the volunteers who've helped run our agility trials over the past year. Every time a volunteer staffs a position at a trial, he/she is given "Dream Backs". These tokens are carefully hoarded for the AUCTION! Attendance at the Volunteer Appreciation Day is limited to those people who've volunteered at a trial in the current year (spouses and friends are welcome but must pay a cover fee of $10, and may not bring their dogs).

The Volunteer Appreciation Day starts with a variety of "silly" games that the volunteers play with their dogs to win prizes and peer recognition (last year one of the games required the handler to put a T-Shirt "on" their dog, while wearing Oven Mitts that had pieces of liver and squeakies sewn into them). Who knows what evil challenges we've thought up for this year?

A "fun" agility course is set up for everyone to run; one that permits the majority of dogs to "give it a try!".

And then..... THE AUCTION: many "doggy" items including trialing gear, doggy "stuff" AND several backyard agility obstacles will be auctioned off to the highest bidder. The ONLY legal tender are Dream Backs - real money buys nothing! Bidders may combine their Dream Backs for a better chance at an item - anything goes! The bidding is intense and a GREAT time is had by all.

After the Auction there's one last opportunity to turn Dream Backs into goodies by "purchasing" raffle tickets! The raffle table includes everything from soup to nuts (actually it includes a variety of "doggy" items such as tug toys, plush toys, doggy books, leashes, doggy dishes, trialing items (such as whistles and stop watches), etc., etc., etc.).

Consider helping at a trial this year and you too will be invited to participate in the Volunteer Appreciation Day!
