This exciting event is the first major dog show in the northeast following the famed Westminster Show in New York City. Though many of the dogs competing will be from the northeast there will also be entrants from up and down the eastern seaboard. Lyons, a longtime member and former president of the Monticello Kennel Club, had the honor of judging the non-sporting group at the recent Westminster Kennel Club Show at Madison Square Garden. His final choice, a Bichon Frisee, went on to win Best in Show. Show hours will be from 8 a.m. to midnight on Friday, March 2, and from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Saturday, March 3.
Admission is four dollars for adults and two dollars for children and senior citizens.
During the two-day show food and refreshments will be available at the track's concession stands.
