We wish to congratulate Kadri Koppel on completing her first training assignment at Springtime in the Ozarks in Neosho, MO. She certainly looks the part💕

Show Me Cat Fanciers would like to thank everyone who supported our show this past weekend. CFA succeeds because of you. We were sad our food truck could not make it due to mechanical issues, so thank you to everyone who rolled with Plan B.

A show could not be possible without our club members, volunteers, Stewards, Clerks, and Judges. Thank you to the local 4-H Club plus a few others for stewarding, to Sheryl, Paula, Doug, Jeff, Siim, and Howard for clerking, and to our esteemed Judges. Thank you to Doug Welsh for Master Clerking for us! Thank you to Cathy Dunham who was our Entry Clerk and benching extraordinaire.

Last but not least, a HUGE thank you to those who were there from beginning to end to set up and tear down the show. ChadCharyl Copher, Allene Keating, Peggy, and Janet and Todd Moyer. There is no way this show happens without all of you. Also, thank you to Robert N Leicy who provided transportation at the last minute and then came back to help tear down. Please forgive me if I left anyone out; it is not intentional.

Finally, I want to personally thank Janet and Todd who trusted me enough to be show manger. I really was "show manager in training," but I learned a great deal and hope for the next opportunity I may be given. You both are the best teachers and great examples. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I apologize I did not get this out sooner, but I didn't get home until late on Sunday evening. I hope everyone got home safely and until we see each other at the next show, be safe.
