You must purchase 1 adult ticket for handler admission and a separate 1 dog entry for 1Pm on either Sat or Sunday.

Big one folks always skip is NO RETRACTABLE LEASHES! You will be able to buy a leash right there but please do not bring retractable leashes! For those of you with young puppies please make sure you have a full week after your last round of shots at 16 weeks. This place can be a madhouse so please use common sense when exposing a new babe to the world. Per website they are bringing back the indoor playground so we will either gather there or near the race track course. Since this event can be a madhouse we will play it by ear day of. Please make sure to be there in time to race promptly at 1 pm. Lure course prices are typically $10-20 per run and the line to lure course can be pretty long on busy days. They also have in past years dock dives. Please excuse those corgis with a white plastic bag on a string addiction. You know who you are! As always please RSVP the number of corgis attending unless otherwise noted!

This pack walk is to help exercise before heading over to the SuperPet Expo. This year the location is at Manassas Mall with Corgi Races tentatively scheduled for 1pm. I do not have details on PetExpo yet. This will be a short 1-2 mile walk at most. Meet at the Henry Hill Visitor's Center and we will vote on which trail to take since not everyone may be racing and need to get to the expo center.
