Annual Meet & Greet Party at the UKC PREMIER

Kalamazoo Fair Grounds
NEW LOCATION – Little Red Barn (details to be added)

While you can’t crate your poodles at the venue, there is shady area at the nearby trees that you may do so.

Pizza and refreshments will be offered, compliments of the club.  Please join the members of the UPA for a gathering of poodle people and poodle door prizes. This year we will be offering poodle performance awards to the first 30 poodle performance exhibitors (see flyer on this page to get more info).

Anyone interested in Poodles is welcome!  We will have UPA applications and discuss what you need to do to join UPA if you would like to do so.

WE HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL AT PREMIER!!!
