The 22nd Annual JRTCA National Trial will be held October 22, 23 and 24, 2004 at Susquehanna State Park in Havre de Grace, Maryland, about 30 miles north of Baltimore on I-95. This is the largest single gathering of Jack Russell Terriers in the U.S., with well over 1,000 dogs in attendance.
Only Jack Russell Terriers are allowed on the grounds, so if you have other breeds please leave them at home. As with all trials, pups under the age of four months, and bitches in season, are not permitted on the trial grounds.
For more information, directions, accomodations, etc. see >> The JRTCA web site
Breakfast, lunch, and refreshments will be available throughout the trial. This is the only trial I go to all year, as it's only about an hour from my house and it's always got something new -- new people, new books, new equipment (will the new Deben locator box and collar be there?), and new dogs coming along.
If you're there Saturday, I hope to run into you!
The three-state area surrounding the trial -- Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania -- offers some of the finest land for terrier work in the United States. If you can't come this year, pencil it in for next year now. Hotel rooms are already filling up -- no kidding.
