Hundreds of dogs came out for the Indy Winter Classic Dog Show at the Indiana State Fair Grounds. I had never been to a dog show before, so this was a fun experience. There were about 10 show rings in the pavilion, so there was always something to watch. Even when I wasn’t watching the dogs in the rings, I was able to walk around and see the owners grooming their dogs. There were also a number of vendors set up throughout the building so people could shop. The only thing I found odd was that there were not a lot of actual spectators, mostly just the dogs and their owners. It was interesting to see how seriously they take the shows and how much they enjoy doing it. Admission was only $7 and definitely worth it, especially if someone wanted to stay all day to watch all of the shows. I highly recommend going to see a dog show. It is something a little out of the ordinary, but a good time. I had so much fun, and I will be going back.
