By member request, it’s time for the Meeker Sheepdog Trials! Sheep herders once had some outspoken enemies in cattle ranchers, but in their dogs they found fond and indispensable friends. Though sheepdogs know much of their work through instinct, it’s augmented by a whole lot of training and practice. As with any human competition, the excitement is in seeing which one has trained and practiced the best. The sheepdog trials have been going on since the 1980s, and now we toss ourselves into the fray. Pick your pooch to root for and learn how it’s done. The folks in Meeker are ready to welcome us! That’ll do, dog... That’ll do...
Includes two nights’ lodging, bus transportation, all admissions, guide services and four meals, including a Welcome Dinner.
