The event showcases a dog's retrieving abilities through a se- ries of trials on land and in wa- ter, according to a press release. All qualified dogs, which include Water Spaniels, Standard Poodle and German Wirehaired Pointer, among others, must have a Mas- ter Hunter title from the Ameri- can Kennel Club and have passed six qualifying events. "This is a very prestigious event and only retrievers that meet strict qualifying guidelines are in- vited to participate," said Laura Judd, director of the Marin Re- triever Club, the event's host club, in the release. "This year we have 600 dogs registered from throughout the U.S. and Canada representing 450 member clubs." The event is open to the pub- lic to watch. Dogs that pass the Master Na- tional Hunter Test in three con- secutive years earn the Master National Hunter title on their pedigree, according to the re- lease. Only 40 to 50 percent pass the national trials each year. Kate Grissom, the marketing director at Rolling Hills Casino, said the event is a boon to both Corning's and Tehama County's economy. "Area hotels and RV parks are booked solid, and we expect lo- cal business will be busy due to the influx of the hundreds of dog owners and volunteers participat- ing in the event and their fami- lies," Grissom said in the release. "This is an opportunity to show- case all the great things our area has to offer including local win- eries, olive and olive tasting ven- ues, specialty stores, galleries, CORNING Dogownerspreparetohunt Master National Hunter Test will be held Oct. 9-19 at Rolling Hills Casino Community.....A3 Lifestyles........A6 Opinion............A4 Farm................A5 Faith................A8 Sports..............B1 Index...............## INDEX Skate Movement will be hold- ing a skateboarding competi- tion 11a.m. to 6p.m. at the Red Bluff skate park.

Ide Adobe State His- toric Park in Red Bluff. Traditionally held in August, Adobe Day was postponed this year until October due to the loss of shade and the damage to the Adobe house that oc- curred when the iconic valley oak dropped its limbs in July. In the true 1850s pioneer spirit of learning to use what resources they have, the Ide Adobe Interpretive Associa- tion and California State Parks have come together to host this year's Adobe Day — "make it do or do without is as appro- priate now as it was in the 1850s." This year, to honor the 150th Anniversary of California State Parks, members of the Red- ding Quilters' Sew-ciety cre- ated quilts depicting 56 of the 279 park units in California. As a special treat for Adobe Day they will be displaying 12 of the 56 quilts that their mem- bers made. The parks depicted in the quilts are all found in Northern California — includ- ing Ide Adobe. Park staff and volunteers wearing costumes from the Gold Rush Era of California will be there to greet you as you cross the Ide Adobe Bridge of Time to arrive in the year 1852. Visitors will be invited to par- ticipate in adobe brick making, rope making, corn husk doll making, log sawing, candle mak- ing, quilting and many other pi- oneer crafts. Children may also enjoy attending a schooling ses- sion, participating in some excit- ing pioneer games and visiting the General Store. For your entertainment the Ide Adobe Players will be play- ing and singing the hit tunes of the 1850s while the Ide Adobe Dancers perform their rousing rendition of the Virginia Reel. The blacksmiths will be busy pounding iron at the forge. Throughout the day Made- moiselles Bossarte and Thomp- son will be presenting puppet shows from their renowned Traveling Puppet Theater. "Sarsaparilla, lemonade and ice cream will be offered for ea- gles (1850s money) on the his- toric side of the park," said Judy Fessenden, president of the Ide Adobe Interpretive As- sociation. On the modern day side of the park, the group will be selling hot dogs, chips and soft drinks in the picnic area. The Ide Mercantile will be offering historical books, Gold Rush CDs and other items of historical interest for sale. In an effort to make the most of a bad situation, this year the association will also be sell- ing items made by local art- ists from the limbs of the fallen Adobe Oak. "All proceeds from sales, do- nations and admissions will help support any future pro- grams at Ide Adobe," Fessen- den said. Tickets $5 for adults, children 4-17 are $2 and children younger than 4 are free.
