WELCOME TO NEW ENGLAND

Our host location is located in a beautiful lakeside setting. There's no place ablaze with color like New England during the fall foliage season plus the added bonus of what New Englander's describe as their favorite time of year…..Indian Summer which graces New England with a succession of warm, fair days with casual breezes to rustle the falling leaves. So, if Mother Nature cooperates, we may schedule some of our special events and/ or judging assignments outdoors so we can enjoy the wonderful season and picturesque lakeside setting.

In addition to the two grooming tents, the hotel will allow exhibitors to set up individual "pop up" tents on the grassy area lakeside for those that wish to do so. No dogs will be allowed to remain in the private tents overnight.
