Agility
Tuesday, October 6
Start Time: 8:30 AM
Bryant Park, 1001 W. 85th Street, Bloomington, MN
See the Agility trial results here.
The agility trial will be held outdoors on grass. The site is a large city park in a quiet neighborhood that offers lots of space for tents and room to exercise your dogs. The park has been the site of large all-breed agility trials for the past several years. It’s a quick 15-minute drive from the hotel. We will have two 110 x 110 rings set up and offer STD, JWW and FAST classes. We’re pleased to showcase local talent by having Tom Slattery as our agility judge. Tom is a favorite with area exhibitors; he runs Norwegian Elkhounds in agility, and is an active member in breed and training clubs. Food and beverages will be available on site.
Note: The site will be available for setup starting at 7:00 AM on Tuesday, October 6.
The ever-popular Agility Relays will take place after the trial.
