Come on "Back to Basics"

The Northeast Border Terrier Club
cordially invites you to come East to Gardner, MA
for the 2004 BTCA National Specialty, August 15 thru 20

We hope you will join us for a Specialty that will respect the values of "our two beloved Kates" (Kate Murphy and Kate Seemann), namely: friendship, mentoring, encouragement, betterment of the breed and the simple pleasure of sharing good company, good food and good times.

Your 2004 Specialty Committee

Our Site

There will be no host hotel for this Specialty, instead, all events (social and competitive) will be held at the rustic but friendly Gardner Fish and Gun Club - featuring New England hospitality at its best. Home cooked food, plenty of room for walking the dogs, ample parking for cars and RVs (no hook ups but pump-out and water top-up will be available) and a full range of amenities within easy driving distance. Plus all the usual exhibitor goodies, we will be encouraging a variety of vendors, offering a selection of area motels, and providing information on convenient airports, full facility campgrounds and lots of tourist attractions and area activities for those needing a "time out" from little brown dogs.
