It was loads of fun under sunny skies even with a humidex of 43 degrees C ...and I got a second in singles class; not bad for a first-timer, eh? My new friend, SHAHIL was the overall winner to the delight of Rosalinda and Guezzeppe.
 
And CHINA raced in veterans class to the cheers of all gathered. I overheard that CHINA was a performer in her day and that CHINA and Uncle AKILA’s sister, ABBEY was number one in Canada for two years straight and that she’s still tearing up the turf in Southern California. How cool is that?
 
And thanks to Allison, Branka, Lin, Sandra, Susie and all the other people there who I didn’t know but helped me out. Gosh, I loved it so much!!!
 
See our movies, too!
