This facility is fabulous. The Conformation has one side of the building and the OB, Rally and Agility has the other side. There is a wall and grooming area's between the two areas so the noise of Conformation won't interfere with the others. Herding would also be on the same site but naturally out in a field. There are 4 very large loading and unloading area's all under cover. The turf is a new type of turf especially designed for Dogs to be able to run on cut and stop without burning or tearing their paws. The second floor is a meeting room that will seat (I think) 350. Both sides of this room will over look the show arenas with floor to ceiling windows. At the Mid West futurity we will be showing on the same type of turf but outside. We have had dogs on this working and they loved it and had no ill effects. There are a min. of 1200 rooms available with in 15 miles of Purina Farms that will accept dogs. If you want a high end Hotel there are many of them also within a 15-20 mile Radius (these do not accept dogs) As Steve said the RV parking is also fabulous and there is more than we could ever need. They have a paved parking lot for 300 cars. I'm not sure if this is open yet but will be up and running soon. They are going to have a vet office on the premises. (less than 100 yards from the rear of the Building) There is going to be a tour of the New Purina Facility on Sat May 15 after our show. -----Original Message----- From: Cinosam GSD <cinosamgsd@xxxxxxxxx> To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wed, Apr 28, 2010 12:01 pm Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Purina Farms? With the new building to be completed later this year, is Purina Farms even nder consideration? In past conversations, I thought there was a reason why t would not work, but it escapes me now. There would be no sod, but the urface is rubber, not astro turf. If costs are a huge issue, this site might e something to consider. uoted rates 800 weekdays, $1000 weekend days for the new large arena. 400 for adjacent smaller grooming building . t least 40 FULL hook ups but I believe they were expanding this.
