That’s a wrap on our 2018 end of the year banquet! Here are the highlights for everyone that missed out on the fun!

 

We want to extend a huge thank you to Meghan Williams and Jewel Schroetter for all their hard work coordinating this event.  Also a HUGE shout-out to everyone that assisted in gathering raffle basket donations!

Annoucements: 

This year we will be allowing brewing bucks to be used towards your 2019 DockDogs World Championship entry fee!  Any handler with an accepted (and paid) entry to #DDWC19 can turn in their earned brewing bucks (that have not yet expired) and you will be reimbursed for cash! Must be a current WIDD member!

We have THREE WIDD club events this year so there will be plenty of opportunities to earn brewing bucks.

  • Driftless Outdoors Show – May 17-18
  • Paws in the Park – June 15 -16
  • Fromm Petfest – September 21

As a reminder we will be providing WIDD World Championship jerseys to everyone who ACCEPTS a world championship invitation.  This special offer is exclusive to members and is limited to one World Championship jersey per handler.  If you already earned a jersey last year, you will not earn another one this year (or future years).  We will have a cut off date for ordering; in the event someone earns an invite past our cutoff date, we will place another order, but won’t be able to guarantee it in time for Worlds.

We now have an electronic membership form and we are also now accepting PayPal payments for membership dues – click the join now button to join for the 2019 season!
