Trophy Sponsorship Season

We take great pride in rewarding our winning exhibitors at our show with unique, one of a kind, locally-crafted pottery.
​Each piece is embossed with our TVKC Logo. 
​In order to continue this tradition, we ask our members to help by sponsoring a trophy or two. Along with Best in Show, we always give Group One winners a piece of pottery, regardless of sponsorship, so we really need your help.
If you prefer, you can elect to be more specific in your sponsorship, such as rewarding your favorite breed's Best of Winners, or Winners Dog etc...
Please remit payment on or before May 31 for each member in your household. If you prefer, you may mail your checks made payable to the TVKC:
