🇺🇸❤️🤍💙 Happy 250th Fourth of July! ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸
On this very special Independence Day, as America celebrates 250 years of freedom, all of us with the Oklahoma Summer Classic simply want to say…thank you.
Thank you to the brave men and women, past and present, who have served our country and made the freedoms we enjoy today possible. Their courage, sacrifice, and love for this nation have given all of us the opportunity to gather, compete, laugh, learn, and build friendships through a sport that means so much to each of us.
The Oklahoma Summer Classic has never been just a dog show. It is a family reunion. It is hugs in the grooming area, conversations ringside, cheering for one another’s successes, helping a friend when they need an extra hand, and welcoming new faces into our community. It is watching juniors grow into accomplished adults, celebrating lifelong breeders, and sharing our love for purebred dogs with the next generation.
To every exhibitor, judge, superintendent, volunteer, club member, vendor, sponsor, spectator, and friend who has walked through our doors—you have become part of our family. We are grateful beyond words for the memories we’ve shared and for the friendships that continue to grow year after year.
As you celebrate today, we hope your hearts are full, your tables are surrounded by those you love, and your dogs are safely tucked inside while the fireworks fill the sky. Give them an extra hug tonight—they’re family too.
As we look toward the future, we are already excited for the 2027 Oklahoma Summer Classic. We cannot wait to welcome old friends back home and meet new ones as we create another unforgettable week celebrating our incredible sport, our remarkable dogs, and the people who make it all worthwhile.
From our family to yours, thank you for believing in the Oklahoma Summer Classic and for helping make it something truly special. We are honored to share this journey with you.
Bless those who continue to serve and protect our freedoms, and bless the United States of America.
Have a safe, happy, and heartfelt Fourth of July.
🇺🇸❤️ Happy Independence Day from the Oklahoma Summer Classic family! ❤️🇺🇸
