Social Hour Sponsorships

This year at the National Field Trial we have several social hours planned in the evenings. The social hours will take place at the Cloverdale Farm clubhouse on the porch which overlooks the property. It is simply a gorgeous view.

Donations are being accepted from individuals, businesses (kennels), and clubs that would like to host these social hours. The plan is to have beer, wine, soda, and light snacks setup each evening, so people can come gather and enjoy each others’ company. It’s a way to relax after a hard day of riding and watching all the nice dogs.

Please mail a check to Valerie Sails at the address below payable to the Old Dominion Vizsla Club if you are interested in sponsoring a social hour. A sign will be prominently posted each evening that will display the sponsor’s information.
