The 2017 Emerald Downs Corgi Races!

August 6, 2017 was the first annual Corgi Races at Emerald Downs in Auburn, WA. Evanwhit attended in grand fashion! Back in March Grant  began a Team Evanwhit Facebook page for planning and coordination. 4 Evanwhit dogs and 1 "guest" ran under the team colors.
In the saddling paddock each dog was given their gate number on a bandana. Anwyn shows off her number at the left. It took 4 heats to run all 41 entered corgis to set up the final, championship race.

Emma was our "senior" racer and ran well.
Martin and Sherrie Ola-Stroebel's Ringo  out ran 39 others to place 2nd in the championship race at the end of the day and made Team Evanwhit proud! He took 1st place for best groomed, handsome young corgi and crowd favorite!   Other Evanwhit dogs in the races were Chunky Monkey and Obie. All the dogs did their turn at Corgi PR back in the barns between races allowing folks to meet them up close and ask questions.

A few of Team Evanwhit gathered at the finish line to cheer on Ringo in the championship race. Thanks to all who came and worked so hard to make it happen.

St Martin's Cathedral Shopping in Birmingham! We went to a place called the "Bull Ring" that is one huge Garage Sale in many huge buildings as well as outdoor stalls. The picture on the left is of Jan and Barb buying gloves. Barb also sought out a big scarf for the chilly weather. All of the goods are stacked/ piled or displayed as high as they can make them. It's like walking thru a maze! There was a beautiful fruit and vegetable market outside that we ate our way around- yum. Just outside the "Bull Ring" is the City Center which is a massive shopping district along with the central train and bus stations. Just on the edge of the "Bull Ring" is St Martins Cathedral. There was an exhibit by a local artist of larger than life "vestments" each representing a different sentiment evoked by our modern world- quite a unique way to express concern over today's issues. The Old and the New St Martins Right next door to St Martins is ...
