[top] Agility Trial
Monday, June 11 Our 2007 agility trial will be held at the show site, the Olmsted County Fairgrounds, in Rochester Minnesota. The site is directly across the street from the host hotel. We will utilize 2 rings to facilitate a quick and smoothly running day.[Map Link] Our Agility judge will be Ms. Rhonda Crane. Rings will be on grass. There is little natural shade, so exhibitors are encouraged to bring shade tarps or tents for the safety of the dogs. No tents will be allowed within 10 feet of the ring. Premium now available online. Please contact the trial secretary if you would like a premium mailed to you.
Test closing is at 6 p.m. on May 11, 2007 at the home of the Trial Secretary:

Amy is a very popular agility photographer here in the Upper Midwest, and is able to convert your agility photos to some very special mementos.
