Notes

Site Description

Overview	This is the only agility site actually owned & lived in by agility people. This is not a public site; Bruce & Marj Vincent do agility here because they love it and are generous people (well, they do charge a fee to rent the place). They have acres of land that they are slowly developing for dog events. It's a lovely site out in the country with a covered arena that has room for 1 ring, one completed outdoor grassy fenced ring, and enough covered crating space for one to two rings' worth of competitors.
Parking	Parking in a small lot right next to the covered arena and some behind the arena; a bit soggy when raining.
Restrooms	They bring in port-a-potties.
Dog romping	When it's raining, the covered ring is nice and dry, but the surrounding fields are sometimes too wet for running your dogs— although they've done a lot of work in the last 2 years, installing drainage and pumps to keep the fields clear. In any case, there's plenty of room to walk your dogs. When it's dry, there is lots of space including a couple of moderately sized fenced fields in which you can turn your dogs loose.
Shade/Shelter	In the covered arena, crating areas are sheltered from sun & rain.
Camping	They let you park your RV onsite, but there aren't currently hookups (I don't think). Might be able to set up a tent but I haven't seen anyone do it.
Food	There are lots of fast food & grocery joints about 4 miles away down a 55 MPH country road (Bruceville Rd.). They've been bringing in a BBQ guy to cook breakfasts & lunches. Or bring your own.
Notes	Bruce & Marj are lucky to have this place and are generous to share it with us. This is their home; show tons of respect for the property, clean up after your dogs, appreciate the facilities that they do have, & remember that this isn't a public site.
