Public Education Month at the Blue Earth County Library
February is Key City Kennel Club's month at the Blue Earth County Library.  A "Meet the Breed" day is held, where members bring their best socialized dogs to meet the public. There is an agility/obedience demonstration, and AKC informational materials is available for the public.  For more pictures, check out KCKC at the Library!

Also, a seminar is presented by KCKC members on "How to Buy and Raise a Purebred Puppy."  On Tuesday mornings during the month, KCKC members read stories about their favorite breed to area pre-schoolers.  The display cases at the library are also filled with dog collections supplied by members.  These events provide a great opportunity for club members to get their dogs out and to be good ambassadors for their breed!
