The Mid-Atlantic Futurity/Maturity and the accompanying Specialty Shows (GSDClub of Northern Virginia and GSDClub of Eastern Virginia) have had a change of venue! The NEW SITE IS Old Mill Park, 1240 Caroline Street, Fredericksburg, Virginia. These are the same grounds we used previously, so we can have breed, obedience, and a temperament test at the same location. We will have use of the Pavillion, and there will be a food wagon, which is under contract by the park authority, to provide lunch on all three days. We have also contracted for a new Motel - the Best Western Fredericksburg, 2205 William Street, Fredericksburg, VA, where we have at least 50 rooms blocked until MAY 1, 2007. The group rate for double rooms is $74, and there is a $15 per night charge for dogs in rooms. There's great parking, a large area to exercise dogs,and the room rate includes Deluxe Continental Breakfast! This motel was recently renovated and is very clean and attractive. We strongly recommend that everyone call for reservations ASAP, as the rooms are to be held only until MAY 1 - Tell the clerk you are with the German Shepherd Specialty, and/or refer to Conformation Number 84065 to get the Group Rate. The phone number is: 540-371-5050. If you have already reserved a room at the HoJo South motel, do cancel it now and make new reservations at the Best Western. The HoJo is being renovated, there is no parking at all, and no good place to ex dogs, either. It's also not the most convenient motel for Old Mill Park! Looking forward to seeing many of you over the Memorial Day weekend for a holiday steeped in German Shepherd Dogs...the best of the best!
