2008 VCOI Fall Field Trial
Des Plaines Wildlife Area - Joliet, IL
September 20-21, 2008

Okay - As you all know we received a ton of rain. Good news is the grass is green, bad news is that our field trial grounds are under water. So instead of canceling the trial we have decided to move it to the "Busch-Gingrich Plantation" (with AKC's approval)

In order to be able to accomplish this we had to cancel ALGD - All other stakes will run, though the order has changed.
