We Will have four Mini Silky Shows in one day. We will have one set of classes in the morning judged simultaneously and independently by two judges. At the end of each class each judge's placements will be announced and ribbons will be awarded. Because of the time restraints, the judges will not be giving oral reasons for their placements. If you would like to get a verbal critique from the judge, you may talk with the judge/s after the show. This same format will be repeated in the afternoon. Champion legs will be available in each division, under each judge, provided there are at least five Mini Silkies in each division. If you feel you have a competitive Mini Silky, potentially you could achieve a Master Championship in one day, which gives you maximum return on minimal time and expense. 

Gold Cup Trophy will be awarded for each Best In Show and a Gold Cup Trophy will be awarded to the Best Coat In Show. All Optional classes, including Best Coat In Show will be judged between the morning and afternoon classes. It will be judged by all 4 judges in concert. There will only be ONE winner in each Optional class Awarded from all four shows. These are very prestigious wins.

Parade of Sale Animals
There will be a parade of Sale Animals during the lunch break. Any animal entered in the show may participate in the parade, if it's being offered for sale. Pre-Show previews will be available on show site.

This year we will be offering a costume class again, so be sure to bring your Bikers and Ballerinas. We hope that this will make for an exciting day of shows and will make it worth while for out of town and out of state exhibitors to make the effort to join us for a day of Mini Silky fun.
