Katerina Earns her American Championship!

Katerina earned her Champion Title with a fabulous Best of Winners award at the Key to the Sea show in the Toledo, OH area yesterday. We are so thankful to the inimitable Ann Rairigh, Julia Kinsey and team for their beautiful presentation of Katie! And thank you to Judge Diane Anderson for recognizing my girl in a fabulous line up!  Ann and team had nothing but compliments for Katie!

If I put the correct data into the calculator, this was Katie’s second 5 Point Major!
