July Jumpfest at Splash Town!

Welcome everyone, and thanks for your continued support! We are glad to be hosting this event and operating under phase 4 guidelines now, though we still need to remain vigilant against Covid 19.

So PLEASE, if you are not feeling well, are immune compromised, or not yet comfortable out in public, PLEASE keep sitting it out for everyone’s well-being. 

Our next event is only about a month away!

 We will be running on our normal schedule of 9, 11, 1, and 3 Splashes as per entries BUT:

*UNFORTUNATELY, even with the higher NUMBER RESTRICTION, WE CAN NOT BE HOSTING SPECTATORS AT THIS EVENT, or holding TRY-Its.

PLEASE - CONTESTANTS ONLY – and hopefully next time friends and family can once again join in on the festivities!

 Please note:  EVERYONE ON SITE MUST SUBMIT 3 SIGNED WAIVERS for this event on arrival, available at the links below. (NADD/AKC, COVID 19, and SPLASH TOWN)

·       THANK YOU!

 Please arrive 30 minutes prior to your time block  so we can check you in, take payments and paperwork, and give everyone going on the dock a wristband. We will deal with any final entry additions or adjustments at that time.

WE will be practicing social distancing! 6’ between people, and 8’ with dogs. In areas where this isn’t possible, please mask.

Tents, etc. may be set up IN FRONT OF or BEHIND your vehicles, NOT beside. Only household members may share tents. 

If you have an excitable (noisy) dog, please back in to a space farther from the pool. 

The ADMIN tent will be open, with a table to leave paperwork and to make payments if not done already, ask questions, and obtain masks and additional sanitizing products if needed. One (masked) person at a time will be permitted inside the tent, when necessary.  

VENDING will be in a separate tent, with one person entering at a time (masked). Christina and Canines will be selling dog beds, (NEW!!) drying coats, and other goodies.

Check out  https://www.christinaandcanines.com/#/  For more social distancing and contactless payment, pre-purchase online to pick up at event. 

Splash Town will have (NEW!) Punch cards, gift certificates and apparel for sale as well.  See https://splashtownk9.com/store

 Reminder of NY COVID 19 SAFETY MEASURES:

Allow yourself 6 feet of space from other people, and masks must be worn if in closer proximity. If you don’t have a face covering, one can be provided. 

As always, dogs are to be leashed or contained at all times, except on dock, leaving at least 8’ between them. Make sure they stay comfortable and hydrated, and pick up after them. 

Fresh air provides good ventilation, and sunshine provides good vitamin D, so enjoy!  when you enter the tents or get closer to people, wear a mask. (not required on the dock)

Clean your hands frequently, and anyone caught touching their face will have to wear the cone of shame!

 Sanitation stations will be provided at the ADMIN tent, and as you enter and exit the dock. Sanitizing gel, spray and wipes will be available at the gates. Feel free to wipe down handles etc. before and after your use as well. Gloves will be provided if desired.

 NO FOOD OR DRINK will be provided at this event. Bring your own, or visit one of our wonderful local eateries (or vineyards!) for pick up service if dine-in is not yet available.

JUMPING:

Handlers meetings will be suspended, so PLEASE read and re-read your rules- available at https://northamericadivingdogs.com/content/view/cmsid/20/2018_North_America_Diving_Dogs_Rules .

Prior to the event day, you can address questions to the NADD Fan page, Splash Town page, or email us. 

We can also provide you with a “cheat sheet” version to address FAQs.) If you have further questions, bring them to the admin tent and we will have the judge respond.

We will have limited staff to keep numbers down, so please stay alert to the White Board, Wrangler, and PA announcements for your running order, and have your dog ready three dogs in advance.

 ( One ON THE DOCK,  one ON DECK , and  one IN THE HOLE )

Line up in designated areas maintaining at least  8’ distance throughout. 

Staff will NOT be holding anyone’s dogs, or throwing for them. Please arrange well in advance of your jump to have someone help you if needed. 

 Team ON DECK will wait at the rear dock gate until the exiting team closes the front gate behind them.

Sorry, no humans in the pool at this event.

Video and photos are fine as long as you stay at least 6 feet from the pool, people, and away from the judge’s area. 

 RIBBONS:

If you DO NOT want your blue Q ribbons, please let us know at check in. Otherwise, at the end of each time block, they will be available at the admin tent. If there is a line, maintain your 6 distance, and please be patient. 

If you want a photo with your ribbon, just let us know in admin! We’ll be happy to take one for you.

Any other questions or concerns, let us know- splashtownwarwick@gmail.com- and we will do our best to address them. We want everyone to enjoy their visit to Splash Town and make great memories with their amazing dogs!

Let’s say a collective prayer for good weather, and great splashes for all! We thank you for your support and cooperation!
