Everyone sets up together, saves grooming spots for each other, makes hotel reservations together, and keep track of each other via cell phones while traveling.
Whenever, anyone is running late prior to ring time, someone is always there to lend a hand.....or to help show......always willing to help a serious newbie. My gosh at the Dallas - Ft Worth Toy Show....a newbie took the points.....you should have heard everyone cheer, including those in the ring.... |
Yes that was YT's very own Cricketbaby aka Carree Farmer that took those points on Saturday and Kathy Lynch on Sunday! I whooped and hollered for both of their wins!!! Mary is right, we always call each other while driving to make sure everyone is ok and yes, thanks to Ken he makes reservations for hotels and they also make the reserved grooming reservations and we all set up together go to dinner together...now that is what's called sportsmanship in my book!!! I have always experienced good sportsmanship in the Texas/OKC area. Yes, is there poor sportsmanship of course but most of us in this area "RISE" above it
At least this has been my experience
