Fairbank Spring Trial Results...


I wanted to thank everyone that came out to the spring trial on Saturday even though the weather was anything but springlike. We had to endure a full day of running in bitter cold temperatures but we all managed to have a great time. I wanted to personally thank a few people who without their help and support I would not be able to make this trial happen. First of all my wife takes care of all of the cooking and makes multiple trips back and forth between home and the club to make sure we have hot meals and anything else we need as the day progresses. I also wanted to thank our bird planter Frank Magazinee who planted birds all day and did a fine job as every dog I believe was able to get birds pointed. Finally I have to thank Chris Catanzarite and Al Fazenbaker. Trials in our area would not be possible without the help and support of these two. Not only are they both extremely competitive in our arena but wherever they go so to have the caliber of dogs and their help at Fairbank is a true asset and greatly appreciated. I also wanted to thank our other judges, Brian Ralph, Russ Komlos, and Gary Pritts in addition to Chris also helping with the judging. The results are as follows:
