These dogs aren't wimps. Rain won't postpone or stop the Wilmington Kennel Club's Dog Shows, which start at 9 a.m. Friday at Lums Pond State Park.
"If it rains, the show goes on," says Martha Doerner, the club's secretary, who was part of the contingent at the park Thursday setting up for the two-day show.
Doerner says Best in Show winners should be crowned about 4:30 p.m. Friday and around 5 p.m. Saturday. But there's plenty of action throughout the day, with judging going on in as many eight rings simulataneously.
A couple of reminders: Don't bring your own dogs to the show. Too much of a distraction to the competitors, and you will be asked to leave. And always ask before you pet a dog.
Cost is $5, seniors and children 6 and older $3, children 5 and youngere free. Use the park's campground entrance on Del. 71.
