Poor Amy & Drew!  The Thornapple crew left the campground before groups started to have their nails done.
Mother T stayed at the campsight to watch the dogs who were out in expens. Nails took longer then expected,
leaving Amy & Drew all by their lonesome for Best In Show judging.  They had NO clapping!
They were the only Best In Show entry with no cheering ... no applause!  But this didn't
sway Mrs. Jane Kay!  At 92 years young, she danced around the ring & proclaimed Drew to be the winner!
Amy & Drew received many compliments from judges during photos!
