Inland Empire Collie Club
2025 CCA Regional Herding Tests and Trials
IECC members played a primary role in organizing and putting on the CCA Western Herding Regionals again this year (Sept 5 - 7). Linda Ward coordinated with CCA to handle the AKC paperwork, managed the budget, hired the judges, ordered ribbons and trophies, and raised and helped transport ducks from the trial site in Olympia. Suzanne Schwab also raised and transported ducks to and from the trial site, set up the duck and sheep arena courses, was duck wrangler for the duck courses, and made sure judges and workers were fed and hydrated. Eileen White made the 600 mile round trip between Spokane and Olympia, and Barb Flaherty made a 1300 mile round trip between Great Falls and Olympia to help with scribing, timing and running score sheets for the three days of trials. We also had lots of help from non-IECC members including Chris Soderstrom, Lisa Charaba, JoAnne Northcott, and Ashlee Johnson from Fido's Farm, who sorted and set sheep for three days of trials; Jeanine Blaner who helped move sheep and ducks for practice for the week before the trial, helped with purchasing food and supplies for the workers' lunches, and donated prizes for Instinct Test qualifiers; Maria Seibeck who helped with scribing, acted as gate steward for the instinct tests and distributed refreshments to exhibitors.
Our thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of this event.
