You know -- those snooty dog shows where people dress up and show off their froo-froo dogs?

From the AKC website regarding attire at a dog show:

"Be neat in your appearance. Remember to dress
appropriately for inclement weather...



"...Members of the Event Committee represent the entire club. The reputation of a club and its event are dependent on the efforts of the committee...












"...Impressions that are taken home from the event by exhibitors, spectators and judges are a direct reflection upon the efforts of the club and the sport in general."

Editor's Note: You will probably have to click on the last picture to appreciate how absolutely waterlogged the grounds committee became as a result of the deluge at the end of the show. Editor appreciates not being punched in the face as she snapped photos instead of, say, handing them a towel.
