The Eden Park Equestrian Center in Sunbury, OH was buzzing with activity as it was readied for the 11th AKC National Agility Championship on March 30, 31 & April 1.  Clean Run Productions and J & J Dog Supplies are the official sponsors of the championship.  Ring equipment has been graciously donated by J & J Dog Supplies, Max 200 and MAD Agility Equipment for the weekend.

The Nationals Committee, chaired by Cheryl Sacerich and the local Committee Chair, Susan Crank, have been hard at work for over a year getting ready for this event.  Mary Kline and Linda Deakin, Co-Chairs of Hospitality Bags had over 15 volunteers getting 1,100 exhibitor bags ready with all the donated goodies for the exhibitors when they check-in on Thursday.  Jerry McKenzie and his crew have been busy since Monday getting the site ready for vendors and parking.  Susan Klar and her team have been working on other areas of the show site to get it set to welcome the 1,047 dogs entered for the 3-day event.
