You pretty much nailed it. It attracts exhibitors from all over the country & other countries. It's a very intense atmosphere prior to ring time, but there is also a festival type atmosphere. Especially in NY.....so many dog people, so much activity; people meeting in the resturant or coffee shop downstairs, going shopping, sightseeing, Broadway shows. Going back and forth to each other's rooms, playing with dogs, helping each other out with each other's dogs......
My question to you is since you live in Long Island....are you planning on attending any of the shows.
