The Annual Minuteman Back-to-Back Specialties

It's That Time Again!
With the shortening days, we in New England start to think of the changing of the seasons and all that it brings: colorful leaf displays; crisp autumn evenings; warm wool sweaters; and above all else – the Annual Minuteman Back-to-Back Specialties!

I want to extend an invitation for you to join us for our annual Boston Terrier shows, held this year on October 8th & 9th at the Days Inn in Chicopee, MA. It's lots of Bostons, lots of food, and lots of fun!

On October 8th we have Ms. Ann Saliba from Springfield, MA judging sweepstakes, and Ms, Karen Billings of Needham, MA is judging regular conformation classes. The next day we have Ms. Marlene Dunbury of Littleton, MA judging sweepstakes, and Mrs. Lois Sanford of Oakdale Ct judging regular classes. It is sure to be a good time!

The show committee members have been working their fingers to the bone to make sure we have the greatest shows yet – but we can not do it without each of you! We need entries for our judges, ads for out catalog, donations for our trophies, and sold raffle tickets to keep Doris happy (because we ALWAYS want Doris happy!).

The Days Inn Hotel (the site of the Minuteman specialties) will give a discount on rooms (20% off regular price) if you book 14 days in advance and pre-pay your room(s). If you want to know more about this deal, please click here.

Come on out to our shows on October 8th & 9th. We make it a good time, and all are welcome!

Remember – our show motto is "we threw a party and a dog show broke out."

Until then, stay well.
