I want to thank all the folks that helped work ringside at the MSU State Dog Show Saturday. We had a wonderful turnout of youth and dogs. Also, thank you to the judges that gave their day to help shape the youth of our future. And also to not leave out the committee who spent countless hours behind the scenes preparing for the show. Congratulations to all the youth that came and experienced having fun with your dog. Hope to see you next year.
