March came in like a lamb. The days were balmy and the flower bulbs pushed up thru the soil and brought the promise of an early spring. By April 1st the azaleas were adorning the gardens with lavish displays of blooms. The hardier gardeners among us were emboldened to start planting tender annuals and vegetables to get an early start on the season. Then treacherous March turned her back on us and let the freezing cold winds and snow blow down on us from Canada just in time for our show. It was just a coincidence that we had a Canadian judge to evaluate the 84 Poms who awaited his consideration. Mr. Stanbridge quipped that he had left Canada to enjoy the pleasant Carolina weather. Show weekend rivaled the coldest weekend we had all winter. On Saturday, the judges and exhibitors who had rings out of doors were wearing heavy coats and using electric hand warmers. That’s not the best way to show a dog but everyone buttoned up and made the best of it. This was the 20th Anniversary Show for the Central Carolina Pomeranian Club. We held our first show on September 29, 1995 at the Piedmont Kennel Club showplace in Charlotte, N. C. Refreshments were served with a 20th Anniversary cake. All Exhibitors were welcome. The winner of the laptop computer was Armband # 36, Katie Stalnaker. Congratulations to Katy!! This year marked the first time the Ann Riddick Challenge Trophy was offered to the Best of Breed winner. It must be won 3 times by the same owner of the Best of Breed winner but not consecutively and not necessarily with the same dog. This year it was won by David & Carlene Gilstrap with Mountain Crest Traveling Man. On Saturday evening the club hosted a birthday party for Ruth Beam who turned 94 years old this month. Many of her friends were in attendance to wish her many happy returns. Certificates were awarded to the six Charter Members who helped organize the club in 1988. They are Ruth Beam, Doris Warren, Ed Martin, Dot Martin, Rodger Beaty and Vicky Beaty. Congratulations to all winners. We hope you will join us in 2008.
