You Should Be In Pictures

Are you ready for an unforgettable Friday night at the APDT Conference?  Keep your conference memories alive by capturing them forever in a photo... or two... or three!

Gather up a group of friends, fellow program alumni, breed enthusiasts or sports competitors and immortalize your meeting in the photo corner.  Or, how about a picture with all the trainers you can find from your state, city, county or country?  Heck, why not take a picture with all the red-haired trainers you see or everyone there wearing purple?!  Only your imagination will limit the fun you can have with the new "You Should Be In Pictures" event.

To add to the fun, be sure you arrive in time to watch an entertaining performance by the famous (or should I say, infamous?) "APDT Not Ready for the Dog Park Players"!  They've planned skits and songs for your entertainment.

Don't miss out on the memories... join us Friday from 8:00-10:00 PM for a night of fun, friends, folly and photos!
