What is the hot fashion item at the dog show this weekend? Well this bright green wrist band of course!

If you’re an exhibitor, you need this must have item to freely move about the park so that you can happily get back to showing your dog.

Jess Dixon is walking around with them if you need one or they can be found at the exhibitor enterance.

Dear GADS Exhibitors!

We are so to welcome you to Cantigny Park for a wonderful Labor Day weekend!

A few friendly reminders about parking and our show site:

Cantigny Park is completely in charge of parking. Their normal rate is $16/day. They have graciously allowed us to sell parking to our exhibitors so that you don't have to pay that rate.
In order to take advantage of our rate of $10/day, you must purchase your parking online in advance.

You can either buy general parking passes for 1, 2, or 3 days, or a reserved parking spot for $60 for the weekend. Both types can be purchased online here: https://greatamericandogshow.com/exhibitors/fall/

If you have already purchased your parking passes, thank you!

PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU DO NOT PREPAY FOR A PARKING PASS, YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY CANTIGNY PARK'S DAILY RATE OF $16. This is published in the premium list and out of our control.

Once you prepay your parking pass, Ticket Spice will email you a QR code. Please bring this to present to the Cantigny Park gate staff. Let them know you are a show exhibitor and that you have a prepaid pass.

For general parking: Once your QR code has been scanned, the Cantigny staff should give you a paper parking pass (make sure it matches the number of days you are needing parking). This pass will get you in/out quickly for the remainder of the show.

For reserved parking: The Cantigny staff will scan your QR code, but they will NOT give you a paper pass. Upon arrival, follow our signs to reserved parking and find your spot. Then you should ask a club member at our tent for a paper pass. We will be able to give those out Thursday during set up and every day of the show.

IMPORTANT: Do not, under any circumstances park in a reserved sport that is not yours. People have paid for their chosen spots and any violations may result in a bench hearing.

Handicapped parking is available only for vehicles displaying a proper handicapped tag.

Finally, please remember this is a self-cleaning show. Please be respectful of these beautiful grounds. Dogs are not permitted inside Cantigny buildings (with the exception of dogs attending the Cardiac clinic on Saturday.

Thank you for your understanding. It's going to be a great weekend!
