Two Day Training and Mini-Seminar Session
Updates:
Attention:
The New Years Bash and Dash will run regardless of snow conditions on Tug Hill the weekend of December 30-31. Currently there is no Snow at Winona. There is not any significant amount in the forecast either. We will be allowed to use the MAIN TRAILS ONLY with ATV'S AND GIGS for training. If you plan on bringing an ATV do make sure that you bring along current registration and insurance information, this will be checked by DEC officials. The park is also asking that if we use wheels (bikes, ATV'S, gigs etc...) that you wear A HELMET, please plan accordingly and bring one to wear! Also as usual remember vaccine and license paperwork for ALL of the dogs with you. Feel free to call (315) 831-2025 or (315) 335-2061 to inquire about snow conditions prior to this event.
Merry Christmas all and hope to see you soon.
