Chairs, Tables, & Canopies for Our Specialty Events

We have some more changes in store for this year in that the KBTCC Specialty and GLATA Shows are being held at a separate location, the Libertyville Sports Complex, which is around the corner from the Lake County Fairgrounds. However, the Little Fort Kennel Club Show, the Chain O' Lakes Kennel Club Show, and our Specialty Luncheon, the 2nd Annual Cheesburgers in Paradise Party and Ugly Hawaiian Shirt Contest, will be held at the Lake County Fairgrounds as usual. People are NOT allowed to park their campers overnight at the Libertyville Sports Complex, so most everyone attending the shows on multiple days are making the Lake County Fairgrounds parking lot their "headquarters" for the weekend, or at least folks with campers will be parking there overnight. Melanie & Rick Feldges are hosting the Specialty Luncheon next to their camper in the Lake County Fairgrounds parking lot, and as was the case last year, we will again be responsible for providing our own chairs, tables, and canopies. We will have to set up our own meeting area for the Luncheon and our Raffle items. Most everyone already knows to bring your own folding/portable chairs, but we also need voluteers to bring folding tables and canopies for our Specialty Luncheon and Raffle. Club Members, please volunteer to bring a folding table and/or canopy - instructions are available in the Specialty Luncheon Donation Sign-Up in the Members Only section of the web site.
 
Hospitality Brunch and Specialty Luncheon LOCATION

Now that the Lake County Fairgrounds have moved to the new location on Peterson Road, we no longer have a designated building / space like the Goat Pavilion for our Club activities. We will have to "create" our own meeting location in the Lake County Fairground parking lot like we did last year next to Melanie & Rick Feldges' camper where we will have our 2nd Annual Cheeseburgers in Paradise Party, Ugly Hawaiian Shirt Contest, and Specialty Raffles.

We WILL be hosting a Hospitality Brunch this year at the Libertyville Sports Complex near the grooming area. Word has it that a free shuttle will be provided between the Fairgrounds and the Libertyville Sports Complex, so it may make sense for KBTCC Members who are not showing to park at the Fairgrounds near Melanie & Rick Feldges' camper to first unload all food and raffle donations and then just take the shuttle to the show rings and take the shuttle back to the Fairgrounds for the Luncheon.

Specialty Luncheon

Kerry Blue Terrier Club of Chicago
SPECIALTY LUNCHEON - the "2nd Annual Cheesburgers in Paradise Party and Ugly Hawaiian Shirt Contest"
Saturday, June 19th, 2010
Following Judging
Location: next to Melanie & Rick Feldges' camper in the Lake County Fairgrounds parking lot


This year the Lake County Fairgrounds will NOT be providing the food for our Specialty Luncheon. So two pieces of good news are that Rick Feldges has graciously volunteered to host the "2nd Annual Cheesburgers in Paradise Party and Ugly Hawaiian Shirt Contest" AND the Specialty Luncheon is FREE to Club Members this year!! Please see Page 2 of the Specialty Flyer in the KBTCC Specialty Show Flyer - Raffle Info section above for more details. PLEASE NOTE that we are still asking everyone to bring food and drink donations as we do every year - Melanie & Rick are providing the main dish (cheeseburgers, I assume...) and we will be providing the side dishes, beverages, and desserts.

KBTCC Members, please see the Specialty Luncheon Donation Sign-Up in the Members Only area of the web site and volunteer to donate food and drink items.

 
Hospitality Brunch

The Club normally provides a Hospitality Brunch Saturday and Sunday morning to share with all Specialty attendees. The food and drink for the Hospitality Brunch is being supplied by Club Members.

Whether or not we will host the Hospitality Brunch and its location is still to be determined depending upon whether or not we will be allowed to set up our area somewhere at the Libertyville Sports Complex, whether it be in the parking lot or inside near the grooming areas. PLEASE CHECK BACK LATER FOR MORE DETAILS.
