Just to add a bit of fun and games to the weekend, were going to randomly play the selfie song. When you hear the selfie song, take a fun/funny selfie of yourself with your friends, your dogs, etc (keep it clean, lol) and post it to Canadian Disc Dogs with a catch phrase or fun comment for the rest of the disc community to see. The selfie with the most likes will win a prize each day. Ties will be decided by our judge :-) Take care and see you all on the field this weekend! For those travelling into the area, drive safe and if you need any more information over and above what was in the premium (i.e. directions to the field), let me know! Andre & Elisabeth
