KEY LEADER CORNER A Note From the Dog Key Leader,
Dog Bowl Team Tryouts Franklin County Dog Bowl team tryouts will
be held on Friday, March 20, 2015 at 6:30 p.m. at Agility and Rally
for Fun, 1000 Morrison Road, Suite I, Gahanna, Ohio 43230. The test
will be written and will last for thirty (30) minutes. Placement on
the teams will be determined by the outcome of the test. Anyone
applying for the dog bowl team must commit to attend regularly
scheduled practices and firmly commit to attending the Ohio 4-H Dog
Bowl Tournament on Saturday, June 13, 2015. Times for the
tournament have not yet been announced, but please plan on an early
morning arrival and a full day commitment. We have a lot of fun on
these teams and part of the reason is that only the highest levels
of sportsmanship and teamwork are acceptable. Anyone displaying
poor sportsmanship will be asked to leave the team. For more
information about dog bowl or to review the rules, please check out
the rules at the following link:
http://www.4hansci.osu.edu/companion/documents/2015DogBowlInformation_000.pdf
We are looking forward to the development of intracounty
friendships and teamwork, so we hope all interested will consider
applying for the dog bowl teams. Please RSVP to Lora at
[email protected] if you plan to attend so that we can make sure
we have enough testing materials on hand. If you have any
questions, please feel free to email or call Lora at (614) 419-
