1. Can I bring my dog to the Soldier Hollow Classic? Answer: No. While this is an event for dog lovers, spectator's dogs are not allowed. A escaped dog or even just an errant bark at the wrong moment could ruin a run.  You can bring your dog if it is competing in the Splash Dogs competition.  However Splash Dogs are only allowed in the Splash Dogs Venue area and may not be brought down into the Sheepdog Championship area.  Additionally the following dogs are welcomed at Soldier Hollow: seeing eye dogs, service dogs, and finalists in Soldier Hollow Classic competitions (all finalists are notified in advance).

2. Can I bring food or beverages to the event? Answer: The Soldier Hollow Classic offers absolutely great food at moderate prices and we encourage you to support our food and beverage vendors. You may also bring food and or beverages for personal consumption.

3. Can I bring my own chair to the event? Answer: Yes. While the  Soldier Hollow Classic offers bleacher seating, we also encourage you to bring your own chairs. There are areas suitable for normal lawn chairs, and some for low rise chairs or just a blanket on the ground.

4. Can I bring a canopy to the event? Answer: Yes. There is an area with an excellent view on the west side of the competition that is being reserved for those who want to bring a canopy (up to 12 by 12 feet). Canopies will not be allowed in the main seating area of the event.

5. How do I get tickets? Answer: Tickets are readily available at the door or can be purchased in July on-line at this site.  While on-line tickets carry a small convenience fee they do bypass the ticket window line saving you time during busy periods.

6. What about wheelchair access and access for the elderly? Answer: This year we have added a shuttle for the elderly or those in need.  This shuttle will service a loop running from the upper ticket booth (site of Splash Dogs) to the sheepdog competition area.  From these two points access to the remainder of the event is level,  quite close, and there is paved access serving most of the event. 

7. Other Suggestions:  Bring sun screen and protection (hats, umbrellas etc.).   Binoculars can also bring greater detail to the hillside part of the competition.  Come early!  It will ensure a good seat and often the best runs are early in the day.
