Where will we be at the fairgrounds
The event will be in the North Riding Arena. This is
building #7 on the map. Crating is available in stalls in the pole barn
adjacent to the arena (see paw print on map). Exhibitor parking is also
indicated on the map.

Where do we get in?
Exhibitors must use the D-Lot entrance off of 8 Mile Road (see
map)
If additional people come
with me, and I didn't get a pass for them, can I pay at the gate?
No. The exhibitor gate will not sell passes. The
general public cannot use this entrance. All exhibitors and guests must
have an advance purchase pass.
What's the crating like?
Crating in under half of the arena. It is within plain
view of the ring and is closed to spectators. Electricity is available.
Is there an 'exercise' area
for the dogs?
A small grassy area is between the arena and barn (80x30) and
an additional area on the west side of the hors bard at the other end of the
ring.
That will be the potty area. Dogs must be on lead at all times.
Will water to hose down the
dogs be available?
A hose will be available.
What other events will take
place during the trial?
Not sure yet, but will try to post the State Fair schedule
when it becomes available. The cow palace accross has bottomless chocolate
milk and free 'milk a cow' events. The Snake Lady is also close by for
your viewing. The Midway is about 100 yards away with many venues for food
and entertainment.
Is food available?
It's the State Fair, and food will be available all over the
place (cotton candy to corn dogs, french fries to elephant ears...)
How current
must my out of state health certificate be?
It must have be dated some time this calendar year.
What about drug testing?
The decision to drug test is made by the judges. Since
the judges are USDAA judges, and drug testing is not a requirement of USDAA, no
test will be administered
Can I pay by Check?
Yes - make the checks payable to: "State of
Michigan"
Is crating in the shade
It is under the arena and covered. You will not need a tent.
Is the crating area accessible to the
general public?
The public will not be allowed to see the crating area.
Are bathrooms available?
yes, there will be bathrooms with running water
Can un-entered dogs come?
Yes - dogs must be on lead or crated at
all times
Come On, Really, how much is the entry?
Our entry fee in the test schedule really
does cover all classess
How can you do this so cheap?
Smart money management! Actually, this show will
operate at a loss, but we are trying to demonstrate how spectator friendly
agility is.
Can my rabies or heath certificate be a
copy?
Yes
