October 15 -
confirmations have gone out.
Hello, Exhibitors!
Thank you for
entering the October 23-24, 2010 USDAA Trial
hosted by AgileDogs Agility Training. This is your entry confirmation.
We have a total of 127 dogs entered for 366 runs on Saturday and 358 runs on
Sunday. With your help things will run smoothly and our days will not be
long. We hope you will have fun this weekend.
Some important notes:
Sugar Bush Farm details:
1.
It is absolutely required that you pick up after your dog. Failure to
do so will result in being excused from the trial.
2.
Bring your own chairs and shade.
3.
The Chittenden’s fenced in backyard area, including pond, will be available
for swimming or playing during the trial, but please follow their rules for
its use which will be announced in the general briefing in the morning.
4.
Remember that ticks abound in this area, so be sure to check your dogs for
ticks, especially if you walk them in the woods or edges of clearings.
5.
Cars must be parked in designated areas, and may not be driven around the
rings after the general briefing each day.
OVERNIGHT / rv PARKING:
If you
have signed up to camp overnight at Sugar Bush Farm, you need to contact me
as soon as possible to let me know the size of your RV and if you’ll be
using a generator or not. If
you’re staying in a tent or vehicle and indicated that on your form and have
paid in full, you’re all set and do not need to contact me.
When you arrive, see Craig Chittenden, who will escort you to your
parking spot.
Trial Format:
Two 100’
x 100’ rings will be used. Both
rings will be fully enclosed with entry/exit gates. Conflicts are
inevitable, but we will make sure you never miss a run, so don't panic!
Every conflict will be accommodated as long as you tell the gate stewards
that you have a conflict.
Electronic timing will be used in both rings.

host trials without your help!), and will also get the following perks:

A $2 coupon redeemable
at a future trial given for each class worked
Please do not worry about conflicts between classes you’re working and
classes you’re running in. All workers will be accommodated. You
can move your dog within a class to make sure you have time to concentrate
on having a successful run with your 4-footed partner!

Canaan,
NY. At the end of the ramp go right, 22 North. In
New Lebanon, Route 20 and 22 run together for a short while. Make sure you
stay on Route 22 by bearing left just before the a boarded-up gas station on
the left. Continue approximately 4 miles to the traffic light in Stephentown
where Routes 22 and 43 intersect. Follow

North (straight through the yellow blinking light in New Lebanon. In New
Lebanon, Route 20 and 22 run together for a short while. Make sure you stay
on Route 22 by bearing left just before the a boarded-up gas station on the

Follow Directions from the
22/43 Intersection below.
Directions from the
22/43 Intersection:
Heading North on Route 22,
you'll go up a hill where 22 becomes 2 lanes. It goes back down to one lane
after you get to the top of the hill and you will pass a mobile home park on
your right. Just after that there is a brown house with a big satellite
dish. The road right next to that house is
Giles Road or County Route 33. Take that
road, it takes a sharp right at a horse farm (you’ll see tan buildings and
split rail fencing on the right). You will go over a little bridge, you'll
see farm buildings and straight ahead on the right you will see the training
building - white domed roof with tan walls and windows. There is a driveway
marked by two metal fence posts just before the building; follow that
driveway to the rings and parking.
