Must Haves for Competing

This is my checklist of what to take to shows. I always print out out and then check it off as we pack. I have not forgotten a single thing since I developed this list, but before I did I got to a show without a comb and without clippers.....OOPS! And I know competitors that have even gotten to shows without shears or CLOTHES!  So don't think the list is silly, just understand it is thorough!
