Chinooks New England

Location: It's A Dog's World – York Maine

Date: Saturday July 31st, 2010

 Don't miss the 12^th Annual Chinook Olympics! It is the most fun you can have with your dog !

 Each year 30-40 Chinooks and "Chinooks for a Day" gather at It's A Dog's World to participate in the Chinook Olympics. There are fun games for everyone, including team and individual events. Everyone that participates goes home a winner! Winners earn ribbons and fun prizes like dog toys and treats. There will be a raffle, a silent auction of great Chinook items, and a pot luck BBQ with some great food. Don't forget your checkbook for the silent auction !

 All friendly dogs are welcome, regardless of breed. Your friendly dog can become a "Chinook for a day" in a special ceremony at the beginning of the day. All dogs must be leashed and under control at all times. There is a doggy play area that is fenced in and away from the games. Intact males must wear an orange bandana. If you don't have one please ask a CNE representative for one when you arrive. Bring a dog crate to house your dog for times when you cannot watch it. All children must be supervised at all times. Fans and wading pools are available to cool down your dog. No alcohol is allowed at CNE events.

 Our games include:

 Chinook Says – a version of Simon says.

Egg in Spoon Relay Race – a team event that is full of laughs.

Musical Chairs – the same as before, but the dog must sit before you can. This can be a full contact sport !

Obstacle Course – jumps, tunnels and other obstacles.

Tic-Tac-Toe – your dog has to win the square by a timed stay.

Agility Course – a real course is set up and the dogs are able to practice all day. This is a timed event.

The most winning puppy and adult get great prizes for being Olympiads. Most any dog can win. Just participate in every event! You do not have to be a
current CNE member to come out and have fun for the day.

This event will be held rain or shine.
