WELCOME LETTER

Welcome all to the TDS/OYB Howloween Flyball Fest 2004.  We are very excited and
looking forward to a lot of flyball and fun!


First, for the not-so-fun stuff: A few camp/cabin rules:

  Park wherever you like, but keep off the grass please, and keep the roadways clear.

  Please pick up your cigarette butts.

  Please pick up after your dog.

  Please keep dogs away from the horses, sheep, goats, llamas and other camp animals.

  No smoking inside the camp buildings.

  Please put a tarp or blanket under your crates in the crating area, as the floors are brand-new.


Second, for the fun stuff!:
