Flying Dogz (Bill Camp of Niles, dog trainer and entertainer) -- Saturday May 10, 2014

DETAILS published in Niles DAILY STAR (www.nilesstar.com): For the first time in several years, the professional disc-dog trainer is returning to Niles for a one-time show Saturday (May 10, 2014) at Rural King, S. Eleventh Street, Niles, MI. “People are always asking me when I am going to perform around here — now I can say I am,” said Bill Camp, who graduated from Niles High in 1969. The day begins with a Skyhoundz disc dog competition. People can register their dogs beginning at 9:30 a.m. The contest begins at 10 a.m. There is no sign-up fee and participating dogs will get a free Hyperflight K-10 Disc. Rewards will be handed out for places first through sixth. It is being sponsored by Rural King. At the conclusion of the competition, Camp and his flying dogs will perform for the crowd. “You will see some things you won’t believe,” he said. Camp’s five performance dogs are all rescue animals that live with Camp. The retired railroad worker lives in Cassopolis, MI part time and Paw Paw, MI part time. He worked his first NFL halftime show for the Indianapolis Colts in 1987. He said has performed for the Colts more than 30 times and for the Chicago Bears over 20 times. Camp is unsure what halftime shows he will perform at this year because he said the NFL won’t book performers until the Monday after the NFL Draft, which took place Thursday. Saturday’s contest is for distance and accuracy and is open to any age and skill level. Camp asks that people bring a leash and the animal’s vaccination record. Females in season may not participate. http://www.leaderpub.com/2014/05/09/pro-disc-dog-trainer-to-put-on-show-saturday-in-niles/
