Show Chairman Message - Tim Sullivan

The 2021 show dates have past and we at Sun Maid miss having them. Our committee worked hard to present a safe environment for the shows but the spread of COVID was too much to overcome. We thank all the exhibitors who trusted us with your entries and appreciate all the positive comments on our efforts and refund of entry fees.

So now we move forward to 2022. Big things are happening as we have changed our show dates and added an additional day, so now there will be a three-day weekend of conformation, obedience and rally. Sun Maid shows will be held on February 18-20, 2022. Will bring back all of our traditional events (4-6 pup, Pee Wee, Girl Scout Patch program, California Junior of the Year, Silent Auction, Book Sales, Raffle, and our renowned Grand Gourmet Buffet). We will be adding an additional building with a total of 4.. There will also be additional Obedience/ Rally days held by the Norwegian Elkhound Club of Northern California and Monday (Presidents Day) held by the Fresno Dog Training Club. There will also be specialties held on Thursday and concurrent to be announced later.

Our members have researched and discovered that there have been AKC shows held here in Fresno as far back as 1908. We will be displaying archives of some of these old events throughout tht grounds with our Celebration of over 100 years of AKC shows in Fresno.

I will announce additional events in the planning as they come together. So mark your calendar to come to Fresno. Win or lose you will have a great time at Sun Maid Kennel Club of Fresno the CLUB WITH A HEART.
