I know this is the grooming blog, I want to say thank you to all the volunteers and participants that made the SISU successful again this year. The grooming crew received many positive comments today but the event had many other volunteers that made it possible. I am so proud to see the SISU thrive. Thank you to all the volunteers that made that happen!
