You are responsible for cleaning up after your pet, so bring your own disposal bags.  Do not let the boys “mark” or lift a leg to anything on field (canopy legs, barrels, tables, chairs, etc.)  There is a fenced area in the South East corner of the parking lot for potty breaks.  Excessive barking (or howling) may result in you being asked to remove your dog from the event.
