A Word About Dogs
People always ask if they can bring their dogs. We love our dogs, but at a busy festival, they don’t do so well. It’s just too scary for them and all sorts of unpredicatible things can happen, so unfortunately we cannot accomodate them at the ballpark. You will be turned away if you bring them. Please don’t leave them in the car. It gets really hot here in the summer and there is no shade! Please leave them at home where they are safe.
