Day Report 4th May 2003 By Linda Castle
Fourteen Ridgies and their owners enjoyed a glorious day at this year’s Fun Day held Sun 4th May at “The Gums.” It was a rather busy location with the Daschund Club also hosting the equivalent event for their group at the same park. We noticed both groups run these days in a similar manner. More than anything else, Fun Day is an opportunity to have a day out/picnic with your best friend, share a bit of time with other owners and have fun. We had the opportunity to buy a bbq lunch next door. It was interesting watching the daschunds in their fastest eater competiton….each received 2 raw sausages while the owners scoffed donuts! Our RRs didn’t need to demonstrate their superior abilities as fastest eaters. Every RR was declared a winner and their owners got some yummy biscuits for them as a prize.
One event we did hold was the Fancy Dress. Our judge was
Elly. The results and the descriptions follow,
1st place was RR Ella with Lyn – “Party Animal”.
Looking resplendent in her wraparound coat, party hat, tinsel, blow up balloons,
and champagne glass, Ella strutted her stuff like a real lady looking for a
night out on the town ready to do some serious partying. She even dropped her
champagne glass at one point but managed to keep the hat in a side on poise that
was oh so chic while posing for a photo!
2nd place was RR Stellar & Ishea with Ashley – “The
Elves”
Dressed in green they were either leprechaun leftovers from St Patricks Day or
elves on leave from Santa’s workshop looking for a midyear Christmas Party to
attend!
3rd place was RR Norton with Linda – “The Coat of
Many Colours”
Quite a sight in his Technicolour Dreamcoat – a coat of colourful dog
figures representing the many colourful personalities of Rhodesian
Ridgebacks….someone thought he was a jellybean!
The Daschund Club invited us over to join in on a parade of non-daccie dogs.
3RRs joined in, 2 of them were still in their fancydress and it must have
created an impression as Party Animal won 1st prize, picked out from the many
breeds represented. It was a great day – thanks to all who attended. We hope to
see you at our next function …..Race Day 14th June.
