Day-Of Move-Ups & Running Order Changes

• Move-Ups will be permitted on the day of the show; please make every effort to make these changes as soon as possible.
• Move-up request forms will be available at the registration/awards table.
• Bring the completed form to the scoring table.
• To request a change to the running order (for example, if you are running two dogs and they are scheduled to run too close together), please do so before the start of the class, if at all possible. To request a change, see a representative at the scoring table.
• Please do not approach the gate steward for changes (even just changes to the running order). All changes must be made by the scoring table. Otherwise, the scoring sheets get out of order. Thanks!

Refreshments and Meals

• We will have a food vendor on site this year (it's Valori Duff's daughter!)
• Snacks and water will be available for volunteers at the registration/awards table
• Water and swimming pools will be available for the pooches

Potty Areas

• We have doubled the number of porta-potties on site this year! They will be located further from the ring, along the road.
• Walking area away from the ring please; poop bags will be available at the awards table. Look for 5-gallon buckets to place the poop in once you bag it.

Overnight Parking & Security

• Overnight parking is permitted at the trial site at your own risk.
• Tents and crates may also be left overnight at your own risk.
• We do ask the local police to perform extra patrols through the area throughout the trial weekend.

Volunteers

• Volunteer raffle prizes will be drawn for periodically. Be sure to put your worker tickets in the bins as soon as possible (with your name on the back of the ticket).
• Volunteer assignments will be posted at the registration/awards table for the entire day. Please verify your assignments, and if you are available to pick up an assignment, please check there and fill in your name in any empty slots (additional raffle tickets will be available for you there should you choose to take on extra assignments).
• Please refer to the volunteer job list for reference. This description will be posted at the trial site in multiple locations. If you have never volunteered with us before, e-mail Michelle to get one ahead of time.
• Please read the descriptions even if you know the job; we tell you where to find things and where to put things in the description as well, so that you know your job ahead of time!

Other Notes

• Is it possible that you might earn your C-ATCH or C-ATE or another special title? Let us know! And feel free to tattle on your friend in case they don't want to tell us! We won't tell anyone, we just want to be sure that we have the right stuff for your possible celebration!
• We will have bug spray and sunscreen available at the registration/awards table, along with a first aid kit, and a map and directions to local stores, pharmacies, WalMart, etc. Consider the registration/awards table as a concierge table. Any questions...just ask! We will find out for you!

Any problems, questions, etc. please call Michelle Borelli at (978) 387-3663 cell or (978) 486-9922 office. She will be sleeping on site, just around the corner in the kennel at Gemini Dogs both Friday and Saturday night from 10:00pm-6:00am, and will be at the trial site shortly after 6:00 AM each day.
