Recap

Jeff Hoskins, Skyline's 1^st VP pulled together another great trial. While smaller than usual, most everyone had a good time and the trial ran reasonably smoothly dispite a mishap. We had a competitive field, some hard working judges and club members that helped keep things running, while handling an unfortunate accident. Margo Bailey, one of our judges in the Open Gun Dog stake, had an equestrian accident and we had to halt the stake while we got her stabilized and finally transported back to where the ambulance was waiting and into the hospital. This is a pretty difficult to get a vehicle into where she went down and thank goodness that one of our club members is a registered nurse and was able to help out. Margo will be OK but the trip back to Nebraska was not a pleasant one. John Moreland took over her judging duties and the trial went on without further incident.

Chef Ern's smoked pork tenderloin is always a great hit. We can't forget Joan Peters, Ern's hard working assistant chef. Joan's breakfast burritos are always a hit and no one that has been to one of our trials will ride off in the morning without a burrito or two in their pocket or saddlebag.
