4-H'ers from various clubs across Ventura County enjoyed themselves while volunteering at the 2018 Annual Summerfest Dog Show.  The show took place at California State University Channel Islands in Camarillo, California on July 6 through July 8, 2018.  Although the summer heat temperatures rose to an uncomfortable 105˚, it did not dampen the mood of all of the volunteers.

4-H Members came from different clubs including:  Loma Vista 4-H, Conejo-Simi Valley 4-H, and Santa Rosa Valley 4-H.  The show's organizers really appreciated the help the 4-H'ers provided while working the obedience show as ring stewards.  The tasks they performed involved:  resetting jump heights for different jumps, holding leashes for handlers, posting different signs in the rings, keeping scores, assisting with the awards, and helping the judges with whatever was needed at the time.

All the community service effort provided by the 4-H'ers helped the Summerfest Dog Show run smoothly and stay on schedule.  In turn, volunteering at the show taught all of the 4-H members there more about dog shows, and obedience shows in particular.  The dogs who compete at these shows are truly amazing, as are their handlers, and everyone had a wonderful time.
