Know of any places to camp in the area?

Well... you can camp on the fairgrounds. Some of the UAD members have done so in the past already.

If our pop-up didn't have a broken pulley at the moment, I'd likely be doing that as well.

Camping is permitted close to jump area. I'll check to see about where to enter.

I don't know for sure, but usually camping sites are reserved the year before for the fair. I know for next year, you have to be paid by October 2008. I believe the fair is also more expensive than a traditional campground. It is $185 for the week or $30 a night. If you want to try to find out more information, the fairboard office number is 419-238-9270

There is a campground called Timberwoods nearby. You can find out more information from - http://www.timberwoodscampgrounds.com/ I haven't been there for a while, but it was nice when I was there before. There is plenty of room to take your dog for a walk (I'm not sure if they inforce a leash law or not.

According to the fairbook, you must pay an entry fee to get in and I know they are getting more and more strict about it. It is $6.00 a day to get in, or $16.00 for a season ticket (for the whole week), but the season ticket must be purchased prior to August 27. You may be able to call the fairboard office and ask about getting one ahead of time and whether or not you can get in without a ticket if you are dock jumping your dog.

Edit: I just found out that all dogs must be on leash at all times at Timberwoods (as well as the fairgrounds).

From the fair map it looks like the same location as last year, right next to the river. I remember some nice shade, but several people had EZ-ups also.

My family and I are staying at this sweet State Park/campground about 30 to 45 minutes away on Grand Lake in St. Marys. I want to have a nice camping experience along with a great weekend of jumping!

Sounds wonderful!
I'll have to look into it-thanks for all the info!

So UKC site said this event had DOS enties. But this site says Pre entry is closed. Will there still be DOS entry? I really wanted to try my pup and this event was close to home. Only hour drive. I hope that DOS is still possible.

DOS and Pre-entry are two completely different things. Pre-entry is done online, while DOS is done on-site. There should still be some room for DOS entries... UAD usually has a lot at this event.
