25th Anniversary for Luther Marsh Hunting Retriever Club

[BurlyGirl]

Hello! As many of you know, I actively participate in retriever hunt tests. This year is a big year for Luther Marsh HRC as it is our 25th anniversary. We will be putting together a big raffle and silent auction again this year to raise funds for the club.

Our club gives people of all ages an opportunity to get out and do stuff with their working retrievers outside of hunting season. Our participants range in age from the junior handlers who partake every year, up to some of the gentlemen I have met who are still enjoying time with the dogs into their 90s. We also support the Youth Day that Luther Marsh hosts every fall. The hunt test game is also near and dear to my heart, as it gave my mom something to do while she was battling cancer. She was not the woman with cancer, she was the woman out there training her dog who had doctor appointments every once in a while. It gave her something to focus on. It also gave my old girl, Burly, something to keep her happy and healthy as she aged. We were still competing at 11.5 years of age. With those things in mind, I happily support the game that supports my family. So here I am, OOD

As spring cleaning is just around the corner, if you come across anything you think would make a nice addition to our fundraising raffle table, please consider donating it to this wonderful event. As hunting and outdoor enthusiasts, your donation would find itself in a home that truly appreciates it. I would be honoured to come pick it up. You would be mentioned and thanked as a donor and supporter of the club.

Any questions, please feel free to message me. Thank you in advance!
