I just got word that volunteers are still urgently needed to help with the National Sheepdog Finals this year at the Belle Grove Plantation in Virginia (roughly an hour from DC and an hour and a half from Baltimore), Oct. 7-13, 2013. One position in particular that is extremely short-handed (working at the admissions gate) requires no expertise at all!
If you're planning on attending, and can spare even the time to work a single shift, please consider volunteering.
You can contact the volunteer coordinators at the Finals website at: http://www.nationalsheepdogfinals.org/volunteers.html
It appears as if Kim Baker (whose email address is linked to there) is at present the person to contact to volunteer for gate duty.
I also have it on good authority that Michelle Dobbs is also seeking additional volunteers for the Hospitality Tent.
Thanks, all! I'm sure you'll find me there - hopefully not full time at the gate!
