Cascade ACD Club Cookbook!

You've heard the rumors and they're true! The Cascade ACD Club (http://www.cascadeacdclub.com/) is going to produce a cookbook. Our plan is to have it ready to sell online by our 2009 summer specialty and herding trial events.

We are collecting recipes and photos at our club forum. Go to http://www.cacdcforum.com/ and you will find an area to post your recipe and information on where to send your photos. You do not need to be a member of the forum to post. Or email your recipes to cookbook@cascadeacdclub.com. If you are submitting a published recipe, please include information on where you found the it so we can credit it properly. We're going to include a lot of pictures of our cattle dogs in our cookbook, so if you have a favorite picture of your kid, we'd like to include it.

Rose City Combined Specialties

The Cascade Australian Cattle Dog Club will be hosting our annual regional specialty on Thursday, January 15, 2009 in conjunction with the Rose City Cluster in Portland, Oregon. Entries close at noon on December 31st. Please go to www.onofrio.com for entry information.

We are honored to have Dr. Robert Brown and Ms. Anna Quigley as our regular and sweepstakes judges, with Ms. Marsh Dandridge judging Obedience.

A potluck and raffle are planned to complete the day's events. Please consider joining us in the Rose City for a great time.
