The address nearest to the farm is 1460 N. 1050th Avenue, Vandalia, IL
(it's just down the road…the Weaver farm does not yet have an address…other than a PO Box).

Home made, farm fresh foods available on-site for breakfast and lunch including some amazing home made ice cream, fresh baked pies and breads and locally grown produce and meats.  Handler's dinner on Friday night held at local Mennonite restaurant where the food is prepared just for our group and served "family-style." You won't go hungry at this trial!

 

Volunteers – we will be asking for volunteers to help run the trial.  We do rely on our members but need help
from everyone to ensure the trial runs smoothly and in a timely fashion.
We ask that handlers watch the running order and be prepared for their turn at the post. 
We will have an "on deck" holding area for you and your dog so it will be easy for everyone
to see where we are in the running order. Please make use of this holding area.

Camping/RV information: There will be camping on the site of the trial. There are no hook-ups at this rural farm setting.
