Show Time at Portola Valley




It's the annual get-together at Carol's house that we all look forward to. Normally we set up on the lawn under trees, this year due to the trimming of trees and replenting of the lawn, we are setting up under the carport.



Pattee, Bri and Carolyn Silvas are grooming next to the garage.

  


The weather is perfect in the high 60s, shady in the morning.   Judge Alysia starts the day with the Satin Angora.  Casey and Isaura helps with the table work.
