Notes from the Secretary:
Separate reservations on separate forms within the packet:
● Catalog advertising - Martha Lacko by February 28 martha@toldin. com
● Hay reservations (timothy grass or alfalfa) - Mark Smith  remark@centurytel. net 
● Wrangler - Will Langley, bottom Creek Farm, reservations made directly with him) 810-724-3426

● Merchandise, Dinner Reservations, Trophy Donations -  Becky Smith,  remark@centurytel. net   NO MERCHANDISE will be available for sale at the trial. All items MUST be pre-paid.

Note on Larger Rigs
● There will be one area for trucks/trailers/ rigs and another for cars. Actually, there is plenty of room for cars, it is the 5th wheel rigs that require pre-planning.  We're going to try to plan so that chain gangs can be located within your camp.
● There is a bridge with less than 12 foot clearance on Fairfield/Levee Road which has taken out A/C units on the tops of motorhomes.  If you are driving a motorhome, or pulling a 5th wheel, please use alternate route! Signs will be placed at the FT grounds entrance.

Gallery Wagon
Chairman Mark Smith has lined up use of a tractor and trailer with bleacher seats to use as a gallery wagon. He also has a source for timothy grass hay or alfalfa hay, so you don't have to haul hay for your horses if you order bales ahead of time. remark@centurytel. net

This is the first VCA event where the DNA profile number will be required for entry. Any entries arriving without this information entered on the form will be returned.

Areas of Interest (from the Secretary)
The central area of Wisconsin is rich in both historic and natural landmarks. Located on the edge of Wisconsin’s “driftless region”, traveling an hour in any direction from the field trial grounds will offer very different terrain.  From the hiking trails at Devil’s Lake State Park, observation areas at both the International Crane Foundation and Horicon Marsh, to the guided tours at the Circus World Museum, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin, House on the Rock, Wisconsin Dells, and Cave of the Mounds, there is sure to be something for everyone.
