Dear 2011 Exhibitor and Purebred Dog Fancier:
With sincere regret we announce that our 2011 All Breed show scheduled for September 10 and 11 has been cancelled by the AKC as a result of an “Act of God”. Our first cancellation since CCKC began holding shows shortly after Word War II.
Those of you have been to our show can well appreciate the beauty of Hussey Field. The Field was left by our long time Vet, Dr. Eugene Hussey to the town with the proviso that it be reserved for our Club’s shows each year.
For this our 27th year at the field Hurricane Irene’s deluge brought so much rain that the Saco River that bounds our site overflowed and completely flooded the field rendering it unusable because of silt, sand, logs and debris. The Saco River rose to levels not seen since the 19th century.
So we extend our sincere regrets to you for this cancellation and our own sadness that a solid year’s worth of planning is literally “down the drain”.
Please mark your calendars now for Saturday and Sunday September 8 and 9, 2012. We’ll be here welcoming you to stand for examination and as always in catalog order.
With Sincere Regrets
Rachelle Porter, President
Jeanne Charest, Show Chair
Dorothy Lindblade Assistant Show Chair
And members of the CCKC
