Medicine Hat Kennel Club looking for new show location
MEDICINE HAT, AB — For nearly 50 years, the Medicine Hat Kennel Club has been holding all-breed dog shows in Medicine Hat.
This year, the show is in danger as their old location at Medicine Hat College will be under construction when the show intends to run on July 19-21.
Finding new grounds has proven to be difficult for the club, needing space for 200 dogs per show.
“We need about 6,000 square feet to put up tents if there’s no arena or covering area,” said Della Kyncl, an event organizer. “We need to look at fire lanes and RV parking as well as personal vehicle parking and so far I haven’t been able to find any place that has been able to accommodate all of that.”
