Come join us and have a rootin, tootin, panting, good ol’time riding the bus with us! Cost is only $6.00 per dog/handler team. Due to safety issues, we can only take 25-28 teams because each team gets their own seat. Your bus money is due by Sunday, November 16th. Both Sign-up and Parade Information sheets are at both Indoor facility and Outdoor club. Please grab one.
FYI - those not riding the bus please sign up on our Not Riding Bus List and pick up a Parade Information. I’ll keep all posted as to where to meet at the parade route. Following the parade, there will be a “pot luck” lunch will be waiting for us. Please let us know what yummy dish you’ll be bringing to pass. Santa Claus will also be at the lunch afterwards so your pooch will have an opportunity to get his/her photo with Santa.

The Hartz Mountain Corporation, Secaucus, NJ is voluntarily recalling one specific lot of Hartz Chicken-Basted
Rawhide Chips due to concerns that one or more bags within the lot are potentially contaminated with Salmonella. Hartz is fully cooperating with the US Food and Drug Administration in this voluntary recall.
The product involved is 4,850 - 2 pound plastic bags of Hartz Chicken-Basted Rawhide Chips, lot code JC23282, UPC number 3270096463 which were distributed to a national retail customer. While the normal testing that Hartz conducts through an independent outside laboratory did not detect the presence of Salmonella in any Hartz
rawhide products, sample testing conducted by another laboratory did indicate the presence of the bacteria in a sample bag of the Chicken-Basted Rawhide Chips. Hartz is aggressively investigating the difference in test results and the potential source of the problem.
Although Hartz has not received any reports of animals or humans becoming ill as a result of coming into contact with this product, Hartz is taking immediate steps to remove the product from all retail stores and distribution centers. Dog owners who purchased this product should check the lot code on their bag, and, if the code is not visible, or if the bag has lot code JC23282 imprinted thereon, they should immediately discontinue use of
the product and discard it in a proper manner.
Consumers can contact Hartz at 1-800-275-1414 with any questions they may have and to obtain reimbursement.
We are planning to have rally classes on Sunday after regular training classes starting November 16. It will be
held indoors at the building on 25th and St. Paul. All levels of dogs and handlers are welcome. If you have any
questions, see one of the rally class instructors - Dona Barsul and Karen Felle.
