Registration started at 9:00 am - good thing we had a canopy to protect from the drizzle!

After picking up the registration packets, we picked up "waste bags" - just in case!!

The information board had emergency vet information, as well as upcoming events.

The Animal Rescue League had items available for sale, as well as information.

Gary and the girls wait... more or less patiently for the walk to begin.

A few dogs wait closer to the starting area.

Hmmm... their markings look the same, but not their sizes!!

Considering the rainy weather, many dogs gather!

We're encouraged to visit the vendors while waiting to begin.

The Des Moines Obedience Training Club gives demonstrations.

Wow! It's nice to have a dog cooperate on the agility equipment!

More dogs and owners are ready to start!

People and dogs are ready for the weather!

Wow! Look at the line forming!

Priscilla tells Chris that it's time to line up, too!

"Come on, Ann! Quit taking pictures and start walking!!"

The girls both try to push ahead of the herd.... I mean pack....

The line behind us stretches back a long ways!

Along the way, we have several signs that give trivia & information, provided by sponsors.
