Final Reminder - HOF hotel reservations and Delmar speaks !! Good evening folks,
With all of the holidays in Nov. and Dec., you might have overlooked making your hotel reservation for our festivities Friday evening and induction ceremonies on Saturday.
On Saturday evening during our gathering, Delmar Smith and Rick will talk about Delmar's life and legacy in field trialing. They will also answer questions from everyone and Ken Blackman will film it. This is a once in a lifetime event, so plan on being there. Delmar will be 100 years old next year.
The HOF group cut-off date is Jan 2, 11:59 pm. If you plan to come, make your reservation now; you can always cancel later. After Jan 2, your room rate will substantially increase.
Attached is the hotel info again.
We hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year.
Please stay healthy and safe and we hope to see you next February.
Mary and Rick
