We even had several JCAPL Board members participate in the show.

We would especially like to thank Raquel Williams and DPM studios for putting this event together.

We have not yet received final numbers, but it sounds like around 200 people attended this event at Matthews Motors in Clayton, NC!

It was a gorgious night, with a great group of people, and a wonderful audience.  We had an excellent time participating and attending, and encourage every one of our supporters to check out at least one of these shows!  It’s a new and different evening out, is very entertaining, supports local businesses, and is for a good cause.

Saturday was a big day to kick “Black Dog Syndrome” to the curb!  Three black dogs being adopted on one day is fantastic!
The lucky dogs Adopted: Duke, Lilly, Dakota, and Lil Bear!
Hobo Tater movement Potato on the move! Lilly cruising with new family Lilly ready to roll Jake giving hugs! Hobo waiting for adopters Dakota ready to go to his new home! Duke Cook Duke bored with the process!

Sadly, adoption is cancelled because we don’t have enough people to staff both events.

But we invite you all to attend the PPR!! Even if you don’t want to ride the entire trip you can pick-up at any location and buy a hand and play.

There will be a band and food at Heidi’s Two Wheel Cafe at the end where the winner will be determined and the raffle tickets will be drawn. We hope to see you tomorrow!!
