We're going to try and get there at 8:30 - Lets meet at the Dog Pack Check-in at 8:30am.

For those not coming to the event, meet at the area on the map at 1:00pm.

Vela,
Amy said they you could try bringing Soda to the event. She said she has seen many young puppies there. I don't think they'd say much, you'll be giving them your money for registration, so I couldn't see them denying you entrance.
So, if you're interested in coming we can always go and pick up pizzas or something afterwards.
