pic 1 this is the mascot for a farm in the Fraser Valley this bull is HUGE over 6' tall & many many tonnes
pic 2 not so little baby Clydesdale pic 3 one of the many set ups for the SuperDogs show for this one there are 2 dogs that run @ the same time opposite sides they start under the SD sign run towards camera through the 1st tunnel through the jumps, through the tunnel then over jumps & tunnel over jumps, through center corner tunnel then over the last jumps in the middle of the floor to the 2 podiums closest to the camera on the bottom of the screen. Those dogs love to run! So funny when they decide to go off course & not where they should

The card house and sand sculptures are absolutely breathtaking!
At first I thought the baby bunnies were the most exquisite sand sculptures I'd ever seen...but the hazel poked me in the ribs and told me they were real. That castle is just awesome, though!

more superdogs
pic 1 a Shepard mix rescued from a Vancouver animal shelter again I can't remember her name there are so many dogs & they alternate throughout shows pic 2 the Sibes delivering something to the announcer via cart Alot of the dogs are rescues from various shelters, there was a boxer mix who was rescued a couple of years ago from a Humane Shelter - the dog was going to be pts because he was deemed "untrainable" & aggressive - the shelter allowed the SuperDog handler to give the dog a chance & he is now a well trained well behaved SuperDog. They also have little dogs too, this year included a Boston, a Yorkie & a Papillion

they were very neat & all the food goes to the food bank
CardHouse was amazing to see the guy working on it too, but they wouldn't allow you to see the back while he was working, I just hope he's not sneezy Baby bunnies were all sleeping in the box except 1 who was sleeping under mom, not in the box Castle was so cool, can't believe that was 3rd place

Here's another one for you Mx3
this was 2nd place there was lots more stuff but they still could've added more, a historical BC event/showcase would be great. There are also horse shows, acrobats etc plus there are also lots of rides & games too.

It looks fairly similar to the CNE (Canadain National Exhibition) here in Toronto which is ending this weekend. There's a midway with games and rides, lots of vendors from far and wide, horse shows, the SuperDogs of course (my trainer and a few others I perform with in the demos are there performing, maybe in a couple of years we will be too), oh and let's not forget the food building . It's fun to go to, but I haven't been for years.
Those sand sculptures are really cool!
