November 7-9, 2025 Rally and Obedience Trials

We extend our appreciation to Spokane Dog Training Club for their rental of facilities and equipment for our November all-breed rally and obedience trials.  We had full days of entries all three days - over 130 Rally entries and over 60 Obedience entries each day.  Thank you to Linda Ward for chairing the event, hiring and arranging lodging for our judge, and coordinating the army of workers needed to put on the event.  We had an excellent turnout of club members to help with this event: Suzanne Schwab picked up our judge at the airport, and Teri Liechty really took one for the team by picking up the judge at her motel at 4:00 AM to take her back to the airport; Kristen Dietrick, Ali Seeber Waite, and  Teri Liechty pitched in for ring stewarding; Sherry McCauley provided delicious snacks and lunches for judges and workers all three days;  and Kristen and Tanya Ward stayed until the very end of a long weekend to make sure we left the building in squeaky clean condition.  A big thank you to all the many non-IECC members who also supported our event with their valuable assistance: Barb Benner (our efficient and knowledgeable secretary); Linda Barenz, Michele Breach, Gigi Grant, Phyllis Woods, Pamela Schoelen, Pat Knepley, Michele LeVar, Adriane Schaeffer, Darlene Hastings, and Roberta Headley (ring stewards); Sally Wells and Tanya Ward (Rally course builders), Sally Wells, Mary Jane McCall, Phyllis Woods, Roberta Headley, Debbie Atencio (set up); and Cindy Petet, Leslie Brost, Sally Wells (tear down and clean up).  And finally, a big thank you to our judge, Charlotte A Mielziner for three long days on her feet with continuous concentration to deliver fair and consistent scoring of over 250 entries while maintaining a welcoming and encouraging atmosphere.
