Here is some interesting data on how AKC dog shows like the ones Salina Kennel Club and our sister clubs in Kansas host, help positively impact our local Kansas economy.

If you have ever wondered how a local show can impact the economy in its host city, AKC works pretty hard to pull that data for every state.
Participation in dog sports, no matter the event, greatly impacts the local economy. Which means helping maintain local business’ ability to provide jobs across multiple industries- hospitality (hotels, restaurants, fast food etc), grocery stores, show vendors, facility staff etc. Your dollars don’t just support the host club, they support the entire ecosystem that helps it exist.
