The weather for the last two days of the tournament was much improved over the first two days. Sunny, high 70's, and little or no wind. I shot OK (not well) both days. Saturday evening was an Octoberfest party sponsered by a German shotgun manufacturer. They had bratwurst, sauerkraut, potato salad, and roast pork. They also had a lot of German beer to wash it down with. That was the second night of free food.
Sunday afternoon was a little depressing. We said goodbye to all of our friends who had made the trip to shoot the nationals. We won't be seeing any of them for 6 or 7 months. We were sure glad that they came. It's a lot nicer to shoot with people you know.
Some words about the dog. She was a hit. People were coming up to us all shoot and telling us how good she looked. On Sunday were were walking down vendor's row and it seemed everyone was giving her a dog treat. I've lost track of how many times we've answered the question "What kind of dog is that?". There were a lot of people who were suffering from dog withdrawal. Of course she was lapping up all the attention she was getting. By Friday she was pretty tired. She crawled up on my lap while we were sitting at the pavilion and went to sleep. People were coming by to look at the 57 lb lap dog.
