• When arriving at the Boat Show, you can temporarily park (with your flashers on) outside of Entrance B between the Edward Jones Dome and the Drury Inn to unload.  Handlers will not need to buy a ticket to get into the Boat Show, but you will need to pay for parking.  If you enter through Entrance B of the Edward Jones Dome at the corner of Convention Center Plaza & North Broadway, the dock is set up right inside of that entrance.  The locker room area for the dogs is in the lobby of that entrance – just listen for the barking dogs!  When you arrive, please check in at the locker room table first and we will let you know where to go to check in for the competition. 
  
  

• First Local Event of the Season!

   

  The St. Louis Boat & Sport Show will be our first local event of the Dockdogs season. It's a National Event, being held February 10th-14th, 2010 and National staff will be on-site with their merchandise and available to get you set up with a Worldwide membership.

   

  Gateway will once again be running the lockerroom area for the crates. We need volunteers to help out with this. Attached you will find a volunteer schedule, which includes time slots for volunteering.  Also, we will need volunteers to help sell our merchandise. This year we will be able to sell GWDD merchandise out by the dock. The same sheet can be used to sign up for either locker room duties or selling merchandise.  You can either send an email to gatewaydockdogs@gmail.com or you can use the link on Gateway’s website.  The link on the website should be up and going in the next couple of days.  

   

  The Boat Show is open for pre-registration on the Dockdogs website. Pre-registration is highly recommended as Saturday and Sunday waves tend to fill up fast. Also, you get a $5 discount if you choose to pre-register online. It's a great way to save time and money. Attached are the event flyers, which have wave times listed on them.
