Spirit Days
One of the most beloved traditions of the NASDA Showcase & Invitational is Spirit Days — a celebration of the diversity, pride, and community that make our sport so special. Throughout the weekend, we invite you to join in the fun and represent what makes you and your dog unique. Spirit Days are about more than apparel — they’re about connection. They celebrate the geography, breeds, clubs, and shared passion that unite us across North America.
September 17 – Breed & Group Day
Show off your roots! Wear your festive breed shirts, group shirts (Retrievers, Herding, Terriers, Working Dogs, Sporting Dogs, Mixed Breeds and more), and celebrate the incredible variety within NASDA. Breed & Mixed Breed Celebration Raffle.
September 18 – Regional Pride Day
Represent your home turf. Break out your state, province, or regional gear and show us where you’re from. State & Province Pride Raffle.
September 19 – Spirit of NASDA Day
Celebrate the heart of our organization. Wear your NASDA gear, represent your NASDA club, highlight your favorite NASDA sport, showcase your dog, or honor the sportsmanship and community that define our events.
Spirit of NASDA Community Raffle included.
🎁 Bring Something to Swap! 🎁
One of the most fun (and unofficial) traditions of championship events is the swapping and trading that happens between exhibitors from across North America.
We encourage you to bring:
• Stickers
• Pins
• Club swag
• Small regional treats
• Fun dog-themed goodies
• Anything that represents your area or your club
It’s a wonderful way to celebrate the diversity of our community, meet new friends, and head home with a little piece of NASDA from across the continent.
And yes — NASDA is getting in on the action too. We’ll have some fun goodies of our own to trade throughout the weekend.
Travel far. Trade often. Build community.
