2017 Annual Specialty Show
 2017 Quilt
In relation to the outbreak of Canine influenza in the Southern US:
The Mayflower PWCC will be following the AKC guidelines for preventing the spread of contagious disease at our Specialty. The Boxborough Regency has not hosted a dog show for the last two months so there in no chance of site contamination from other events. Each exhibitor has received a statement from the AKC regarding Canine influenza along with their entry and Judging Program. There have been no confirmed cases of Canine influenza in the northeast. Plans are well underway for our 27th Specialty! Here's some information to get you ready! As always, we will be having a raffle and a silent auction! - If you have items you would like to donate to the silent auction (new or gently used, not necessarily dog related), please bring them with you! Collections will begin on Wednesday during the Welcome Party. For more information, please contact our co-chairs: Karen Gunzel & Rae Becerra (kgunzel@optonline.net, raelynne@gmail.com) - Again this year, we are raffling off another beautiful quilt sewn by our very own Barb Fisher, in addition to other great items! - Please visit our Ways and Means table for wonderful Corgi and Mayflower themed merchandise. - We'll also have vendors lining our banquet hall. Make sure to visit their booths! See below for our Schedule of Events. Links to entry forms and premiums are also here! Schedule of Events
