    Poor Planning

    The IKC is this weekend and the older grans and I are going. Found out there are very few labs showing. What the heck?? Then it dawned on me, superbowl on Sunday. Looks like we might have the place pretty much to ourselves this year.

    Why in the world would they schedule it for this weekend? It usually takes place later in February.

    So breeders, does this happen often, shows being scheduled on holidays? Am I remembering right that the Potomac was held over Easter weekend?

    Guess I wasn't too clear. The show is February 1.

    It's so funny that you bring this up. My husband just came back from Chicago and he went on and on about how pet friendly Midway must be because there were dogs everywhere .

    Have a great time! Sounds like fun but yeah, poor timing. Massachusetts just about shuts down for Superbowl Sunday, even the restaurants, whether we're playing or not.

    This date may not have been the show committee's first choice either. Hard to say what factors went into it. Having just chaired a specialty myself, it is not easy to organize venues, etc. to put on a show. Lots of moving parts to organize, and certain factors end up being out of the club's control.

    I'm just glad I don't have to go anywhere near Phx this week.
