Tony Greens Tortured Beans

I will enquire…
Pretty sure they were mailed in for the previous years, this seems works better for the judges.
We try to give them as much time as possible to do some proper judging. :wink:

I will find out who is handing the entries this year and get all the details locked in and report back to ya when I know what is up.

Not at all. @shag invited me and I’m a known alien.

I vote for some remote judging. Make it fair. Need my address again?

That will get hashed out over at the other site.
You may be eligible, I started a thread over there.
Submit your request, it is very early so you may indeed get lucky. :wink:

Good luck

Birch Run Michigan correct?

Is this held at a private campground? Private Property?

Looks to be just about 700 miles and 10 hours from the Philly area…

I visited the Z-Labs site, it seems to me most forums are 2 years or so dead, or is it because i’m viewing as unregistered?

Is there a list of the Breeders attending this event?

Depending on what’s going on around the homefront i may be able to make this. I could then run north to the UP and camp on Superior… one of my bucket list spots.

Yes, and yes.
Kinda…LOL
It is really a private park.
We rent the whole park for the weekend.

The site was a victim of some kind of attack, I think it has been closed to new members.

It is still pretty active but most of the activity may be hidden from the public.

There is no Breeders list as of yet, it is still kinda early.

That sounds very nice, we spent 5 weeks in the UP 2 years ago.
If you ever need info or just wanna chat about that area, I know it pretty well.

@shag If you could then just keep us informed here as things progress?

Marquette, Mouth of the Huron and Copper Harbor is what id be visiting. Anything else would just be a bonus… such as perhaps Pictured Rocks.

@Jetdro I guess you’ll have to leave before me then… :wink:

I have done stranger things in the past. The pics look like something i would really enjoy. I could spend the day sampling buds without falling out, lol. Wonder if 446 lbs of German Shepherd would be welcomed , because we are a package deal. Would be a 5-10 day excursion, certainly not leaving the pack behind

I will check, but I am pretty sure you are good.
But I should ask so that way I am positive.
Are your pack pretty accepting of other dogs?
In the past we have had a few dogs attend, our new border collie being one of the only dogs in attendance last year.

Our dog goes everywhere with us so I definetly get it

I will for sure!

If you got to Marquette, go to Black Rocks and jump off into the water.

My 4 can be taken anywhere . 100% social, people and other animals. They ARE GSD’s however , which means PLAY for them is knocking each other, or others , down. Like a 4th grade recess at junior school for the impaired, lol.

ANY “dog” person would delight in meeting them, all beautiful examples of their breed.

We love all animals… it will be great to meet you all. :star_struck:
Like I said I am pretty sure you are good, but I will confirm to take any mystery out of it.
@GCBudz
Here is some more info on the UP trip.

Ok I gotta get a train ticket to Chicago and find an OG who wants to go (sober) Blues Brothers on this weekend with me damn! More likely to make it up to one of the VT or Maine sesh/festival/bonfire things but Z-Labs would be legendary! I’m imagining a sack race with bong hit checkpoints and other such tomfoolery. Have people try to knock you out clearing a hit of their best stuff hahaha

We were kinda stickin’ to bocce ball, horseshoes and bag throwing.
Bag throwing is the same as corn hole.
I just don’t like to say I am headed to the woods with a bunch of guys I know to do some corn hole-ing. :zipper_mouth_face:
But looks like we might have a new game for this year. :rofl:
