Lawrence and Jodi Frederick of “Disc-Connected
K-9’s”. Lawrence and Jodi shared their space with us and provided OOTW with one of their logo tents and
helped us with our set-up. We had front row seats of their amazing “World Class Frisbee Dog Shows” from our tent.
Lawrence and Jodi are big supporters of rescue, all of their performing dogs were rescued . . . HOW COOL. . . Lawrence promoted
“Out of the Woods” at each performance and invited the audience to visit our tent and support OOTW’s volunteers
and our dedicated efforts in rescue. For more on Lawrence & his Disc Connected K-9's, visit their website here.

OOTW's litter of Rat Terrier/Chihuahua pups were put to work on Saturday
to pay for their puppy chow! It was fun for all as the
puppies gave kisses at a $1.00 per minute to folks attending the fair! Also, to help raise much needed funds OOTW sold car magnets and handmade dog biscuits, made by our wonderful volunteers.
A big THANKS to all who came out in the hot, humid weather
to show their support!

We are so appreciative of Stephano

which turned out to be a great event for us. After the rain in the morning, the sun came out and it was a very
enjoyable evening.
Thank
you to everyone that helped make this event a success.
