Subject: Alaska Tourneys: Happy autumnal equinox!
Today, at 7:44 AM Alaska Time, the sun crossed over the equator -- the midway point along its southward journey from one edge of the tropics to the other. However, the position of the sun isn't the real reason I'm sending this message. The real reason is to plant a seed for those of you who might be thinking about participating in our 4th Annual Alaska Summer Solstice Tourneys next June. We're in the process of updating our website and finalizing the dates/contract for our venue, after which point we will submit our sanctioning paperwork to NAFA.
Stay tuned...

Subject: Dates for Alaska Summer Solstice Tourneys
Mark your calendars! We've signed our contract with the Alaska State Fairgrounds (our tourney site) and submitted our sanctioning paperwork to NAFA for the following dates:
Tourney 1: June 24-25 (rain day June 26)
Tourney 2: June 27-28 (rain day June 29)
We're still in the process of updating our website, but don't let that stop you from making your travel arrangements. Much of the information from last year still applies. Here's our website address:

We're offering the Open class; so bring yourself or a whole team. Either way, you'll have an amazing and unforgettable flyball experience.

Subject: Alaska tourneys: Happy winter solstice!
...You knew I couldn't let such a momentous occasion go by without some sort of a plug for our Alaska Summer Solstice Tourneys :)
The sun was directly over the Tropic of Capricorn at exactly 3:04 AM Alaska Time today (December 21), which means it's the official first day of winter for us Northern Hemispherites. In our part of Alaska, we have only 5 hours 28 minutes from sunrise to sunset today. However, six short months from now, it'll never get completely dark with the sun rising at 4:20 AM and barely going below the horizon 19 hours 21 minutes later at 11:41 PM. Alaska is truly the land of extremes, and we would be *extremely* happy if you joined us for our 4th Annual Alaska Summer Solstice Tourneys next June for two 2-day tourneys.

Happy holidays to all!
