2022 GRCA National Specialty Grooming at the Monroe County Fairgrounds will include 224 grooming spaces (each 10’x10’) located under 3 tents.
The tents will have sides that can be lowered if weather requires. The tents will be located just outside the main entrance to the Expo Center where Conformation will be held. Each spot will have one 20-amp electrical circuit.
Please remember to bring your own 50 to100 ft extension cord as it will be needed to reach the outlets. A surge protector is also recommended. Please pay attention to your power requirements for dryers to avoid tripping breakers. Other electrical appliances are NOT allowed under the tent. Excessively outages will lead to charges for returned service ($30). The power outlets will be located down the open center space between the 2 main tents and you may be up to 60 feet away. (See grooming space diagram above).
Wood shavings, ex-pens and personal are NOT allowed under the grooming tents. Please keep aisles clear for fire safety.
Generators will be allowed with some restrictions, based on common sense. They will NOT be allowed under tents on the site. If needed, they should be placed somewhere a bit away for these sites and an extension cord used to get power from them.
The grooming tent will be closed from 11 PM until 5 AM each day. Dogs cannot be left in the grooming tents overnight. Questions? Email cmercer900@mac.com.
