Ultimate Air Dog Participant,
We are so excited you are going to join us for our first annual Paws in the Park on August 22nd and 23rd. Milt has informed us that you will be participating in the Ultimate Air Dogs Competition. Some of you may be bringing tents, crates, chairs, etc. It is required by our insurance company and the City of Canton that you load these items when gates are not open. This is to insure everyone’s safety on site. Load in times are on Friday, August 21 from 1 p.m.- 7 p.m. or Saturday, August 22 from 8a.m. – 9:30a.m. All tents will must be staked or weighed down. We have reserved 10 x 10 spaces along the fence line by the pool. Please only set up in the assigned areas. Vehicles will not be allowed on the festival grounds. We regret we can not make any exceptions to the rules. There will be a water supply near by along with restrooms. Tickets are $5 at the door, all dogs and children under two are free. We look forward to having you and your dog at the Paws in the Park event. For more information on the event, log onto www.PawsintheParkUSA.com

Sincerely,
Paws in the Park

are we on grass?

Um, I have a couple questions ...

Is there a "load-in" time for Sunday, like there is Saturday?

I ask because my dogs have to ride in crates while in the van and I don't have extra crates that I can just leave at the event. So how will it work for me to get my crates back in on Sunday?

Also, I'm wondering about coolers, food? Is it allowed to bring our own stuff for the day?

From what they posted sounds like you will have to carry your crates in and out. Do you and a crate dolly/roller base?

Ok. That wouldn't be a problem. I was more concerned that it sounded like you aren't allowed to bring ANYTHING in with you except your dog(s) unless you did so during the "load-in" time they listed ... and since there was none listed for Sunday I was wondering how that was going to work. I have no problem getting there early to bring them in and set up but if they weren't going to let me bring the crates and chairs back in on Sunday because they don't have a "load-in' time scheduled, that would be a problem.

I have 20 passes for each day. The first 20 teams to show up will get 1 pass per team. Work with us on this event it might get messy at check in and entrance. First time event.

I think they were refering to cars unloading tents, etc. on Fri and Sat.
Rolling in crates, I doubt they will care.

Im not

LOL Took me a minute to get that.


Is there plenty of space for everyone along the fence for EZ-ups or is it only going to fit a few? I wasn't planning to bring one at first but with this hot sunny weather we've been having lately I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to bring it and have it there. Is there any shade around the pool area where we're crating if we decide not to bring it? If there's a lot of room I'll throw it in the van and take it but if there's not much room I don't want to lug it all the way there for nothing.

Not sure I haven't seen the facility yet!

Ok, I have a map with the layout of the venue (the whole venue) but I can't get it to download (or upload, whatever) to this list. If someone with more computer knowledge than me would like to email me privately at babsbuggy@yahoo.com I can send it to them.

WE ARE ON GRASS!!!
Barb,

This is directional information from the Paws in the Park people.

GREAT QUESTION. Proctor Road does not exist! Not sure why Map Quest
tells people that. I 275 exit Ford Road. Ford Road West, to Canton
Center Road (left) to Heritage Park Road (right).

Mapquest calls Heritage Road, Proctor Road. You wont be able to miss it, we'll have big road signs
Thanks,
Barb
