We've again rented The Lodge at Virginia Kendal National Park where will have two fireplaces, hot beverages all day, breakfast food and a warm lunch catered by Moe's Restaurant of Cuyahoga Falls.

Dogs aren't allowed in the Lodge, but parking is very close so you can keep your pups nearby in your vehicles. There's also a covered Shelter attached to the lodge with plenty of room for crates.
Due to the short daylight hours and the Lodge's occupancy restrictions, there will be a 50-team limit.
To accommodate as many players as possible, handlers are limited to two dogs each.
From a cost standpoint, our goal is to break even. To that end, here's the cost breakdown:
Handler/Competitor 1 Dog Package: $90 includes:
-- Event entry for 1 dog in all 3 events, with $10 earmarked for the UFO Cash & Catch pot and $10 for the Overall Cash Pot
-- Lodge access, breakfast & lunch.
Handler/Competitor 2 Dog Package: $140 includes:
-- Event entry for 2 dogs in all 3 events, with $20 earmarked for the UFO Cash & Catch pot and $20 for the Overall Cash Pot
-- Lodge access, breakfast & lunch.
Guest Ticket: $35 includes:
-- Includes lodge access, coffee & hot chocolate, breakfast & lunch.
++ Money can't be exchanged at the National Park so you must register and pay in advance. ++
Due to the growing interest in the Winter Event, combined with the 50 Team Limit, registration will be as follows:
-- Phase 1: Past Attendee Registration is open on Saturday, Dec. 2 (NOW) for anyone who has played in any of the first 4 Winter Championships.
-- Phase 2: Open Registration will begin on Monday Dec. 11.
