ARFF hosts agility seminars, bi-monthly weekend practices and our weekly evening practices at our home field. Are you on the Practice or Equipment committees? Come help put the equipment away in the cages for the winter. All other members are welcome to help too! This task usually takes less than two hours. The more people we have to help, the less time it will take.
