The Tail Gate Party
Tuesday, October 27
In the Grooming Room at designated grooming places
15 minutes following the conclusion of Tuesday’s judging

Everyone Welcome!

The Event:  This a no-host event.  Bring finger food-type snacks and/or beverage of your choice, find an available designated grooming table in the designated area and put your contributions out. Be very careful with bringing any special serving platters, as some things get lost in clean-up.  We recommend disposable platters.  If you bring a crock-pot type dish, please be responsible for taking it away at the end of the event.   The club will provide small plates, beverage cups, non-alcoholic beverages, and napkins.  Bring your snacks, appetizers, and beverages (beer and wine are very popular.  There might be a martini or two being shaken, not stirred) and let the party begin.  

The History:  The tail gate party has become a popular event at our Fall back-to-back specialties.  It was started in 200?? when Linda Willard’s veteran Buck went BOB.  She went to her set-up and opened a celebratory bottle of wine.

Mary Meador and Judy Word, who were crated very close by, asked if they could bring their snacks and beverages over and join her.  Joyce Kinghorn was crated across the aisle and at the sight of a "party" couldn't resist and brought a few things over to join the fun "and a social event was born".  It has grown to the point that last year there were more emails about what everybody was bringing to the "not so impromptu party" than anything else. 

The Designated Area:  To help concentrate the gathering into one area, we will have one section of the grooming area that is designated for the party.  If you would like to have your grooming area be a part of the party, check the box on the Grooming Space Reservation Form It is possible that not all people who wish to have their grooming area part of the party will be in the designated area. 

If you are set up in the designated area, we would recommend you have your tables cleaned off as soon as possible following the conclusion of judging on Tuesday or people are apt to clean it off for you.  The designated grooming areas will have their tables designated by colored ribbon, balloons or plastic table skirts.  We will encourage everyone (not just the people whose tables are being used) to "clean up" 2 hours later for those who need to do any grooming for the following day.
