With temperatures soaring , AM/CAN CH. LUVIT'S A ROLEX YACHT-MASTER AT DALNAVERT "LEX" would once again win the breed and take a GROUP 1st .Hot, tired and exhausted from the events of the weekend, exhibitors said their goodbyes, committee members cleaned up the last of the specialty items, and dogs and handlers left for home. Lex and Marilyn would spend the rest of the week with us. Lex would have a well deserved rest for 2 weeks before he would continue on the campaign trail for 2011.

Our hospitality committee, headed by Carla Morrow, spent the afternoon of the Specialty decorating the restaurant "Lee's on Devries" located at the Royal Canadian Legion not far from the show site, based on our theme Bichon Beach Party. We hosted a crowd of 40 people to a buffet of homemade Manitoba delectables of perogies, cabbage rolls, kubassa , chicken, salad, and Jeannie's cake. The live auction was a huge success bringing in almost $1000.00. Many went home with beautiful items graciously donated by Bichon lovers.

The big day had arrived for all of us. Hours of planning and preparation for the BFCC Specialty committee would be based on the day's success.
