Afghan Hound Specialty Show



We offer two back-to-back Specialty Shows each year in August in conjunction with the St Croix Valley KC shows. Our Specialty is on Friday, with All Breed shows on Saturday & Sunday.


We are off in a secluded area of the fair grounds which allows us to set our tents up ringside and park our cars close.


This is a wonderful convenience and we are able to keep our same spots during the entire 3 days of the show weekend.


There is a small fee to rent a parking/grooming set-up spot. See the Premium List to arrange.


The GTCAHC also offers a Lunch and an Art Auction & Raffles.


And back for this year is our Wine, Cheese, and Dessert Bar to enjoy directly after the second show! Yum!


Come and join us!
