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 C-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?
The pole barn consists of horse stalls available for crating.
The doors of the barn will be left open for ventilation. There are a total
of 30 stalls available, so some sharing may have to occur. If you wish,
you may lock your stall (bring your own lock). Electricity is available.
Is there an 'exercise' area
for the dogs?
A small grassy area is between the arena and barn (80x30).
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.
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"
What time will we start?
TENTATIVELY check-in starts a 9:00am and the show
starts at 10:00am, but this will be subject to change based on
entry size.
Is crating in the shade
It is in a stall barn - You will not need a tent.

general public?
The public will not be allowed to see the crating area.

Spectators will not be allowed in the stalls under any
circumstances.
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 -- one dog three runs,
twleve runs, it's still
the same low price ($4 for
parking per day)
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
