Lake States Grouse Dog Championship Course Information

Welcome to the 82nd Annual Lake States Grouse Dog Championship. This year we have an outstanding entry and thank everyone for participating.

Daily, we will meet at the Alibi Hall by 7:30, leaving the Alibi Hall by 7:45 to head out to the courses. We will begin on Tuesday, October 20th on courses 1-2. We will use all current available courses 1-2, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9, 10-11, 12-13, 14, and 15-16. We will run 7 braces a day, take a coffee break after the 2nd brace of the day, going back in to the Alibi after the 4th brace of the day for lunch and complete the last three braces of the day after lunch. We will begin the 2nd day where we left off the previous day. The second day we will begin on course 15-16 and run 7 braces. Day 3, 4 and 5 we will again pickup where we left off the day before. On Saturday, we will run the final 5 braces. Coffee after the 2nd brace, lunch after the 4th brace and finish the last brace after lunch. We will make the championship announcements at the end of the running on Saturday at the Alibi Hall.

We will run the derby beginning on Sunday, October 25. Again, we will meet at the Alibi at 7:30 a.m., leave at 7:45 to begin brace one on course 1. We want to keep things rolling so we will have coffee after the 4th brace and do a tailgate lunch so that we can keep things rolling along to get handlers on their way home as soon as possible. We will run all available courses consecutively until finished. (We no longer use course 3). Announcements at the Alibi Hall after the day’s running.

We will have a handler’s dinner on Friday night at approximately 6:30ish after the day’s run has been completed.

As usual, we will need all the help we can get so that we can have 2 marshals per brace and plenty of vehicle movers. All help is appreciated.

The draw will be posted later today, Friday, October 16.
