THE ROBERTS CENTRE IS A GREAT VENUE FOR A DOG SHOW!
It’s right off I-71 on Rt 68. It’s a bit of a rural location, but that’s why it’s so ideal for dogs! There are a couple of fenced grass paddocks for dogs to run off lead in and there is ample space to walk dogs, park your car and your RV, too.
The onsite restaurant is Ralph’s American Grill and there is a McDonalds, Dairy Queen, Subway and Wendy’s right out front - as well as several gas stations.
Obedience/Rally and Agility will all be in Ballroom A at the Roberts Centre.
Conformation will be in the Royal Canin Ring Venue. There is plenty of space and it’s heated/air conditioned. There are reserved grooming spaces, as well as free grooming spaces available for the show.
Right off the Royal Canin room on the loading dock are ONSITE BATHING FACILITIES open Monday 4PM -10 PM & Tuesday - Friday 6AM - 10PM. Towels, shampoo, tables, and dryers are not provided. We will have tables and crates available to rent for $10 per day per item that can be reserved. Contact Julie Sarnecki at jellybeansarnecki@gmail.com for reservation information.
Herding on Sunday is a 2 hour drive north to Rosehaeven Farm near Lima in Alger, Ohio.
Our weather that week should be reasonable. It might be cool in the mornings - so bring a jacket or so for layering. Rain/showers are always possible during that time of year, so bring rain gear as well.
