Centennial Anniversary Field Trial

Pennsylvania Professional Dog Trainer Robert Ecker flushes birds for the Open Shooting Dog Stake winner, Grousewood's Farm Clyde, of our Centennial Anniversary Field Trial at the Ralph Kellam C&R Center and Bird Dog Field Trial Grounds at Petersburg, Delaware, Saturday October 31st. 64 entries from over 6 states from New York to Virginia competed in this hallmark event. Even though Mother Nature didn't comply with our request for good weather, rain didn't dampen the spirits of all in attendance. Hostess Susan Zarebicki put together a sumptuous buffet of pulled pork, smoked turkey breast, potato & macaroni salad and cole slaw topped by a pair of 100 Year Anniversary Cakes to add to our festivities on Halloween Eve. Field Trial Chairman & Club President Jan Zarebicki thanks this year's field trial committee; including long time club members Steve Henrikson, Mike Zarebicki and newcomers Gus Piperis, Dave Park, Chris Martin and Rich Kovacic. We were lucky to have knowledgeable, observent judges and unselfish, ever willing help to make the Centennial Celebration of Bird Dog Field Trialing in the Diamond State of Delaware & the 100th Anniversary Delaware Setter & Pointer Club, Inc. a successful event. Even though Mother Nature decided not to cooperate and with 2 very full days of running, we were able to run 64 dogs and enjoy fellowship, comraderie and some marvelous dog work.
