There will be AKC coursing at the 3M park in Ames, IA on 30 April and 1 May, unfortunatley I have to work that weekend, but one of my friends will be there with her 4 basenjis and there will be lots of other sighthounds there for socializing. We will be in Des Moines at the Waterworks Park on 7/8 May for ASFA lure coursing and puppy socializing.
