If you are relatively new to Barn Hunt, Branchwater Farm is a great place for a first trial – there is plenty of room to spread out on an actual farm in a country setting in the outdoors, under cover rings.

If you are an experienced rat hunter, then there are Q’s and titles to be earned; note that most of the Masters and Crazy8 trials are INSIDE in the “Blue Room”.

Friday night is two master only trials, and also a pajama night!

Competitors are encouraged to come wearing pajamas for fun and laughs! Saturday is when the spooky fun and games begin – we will have a Halloween costume contest for best dog costume and for best dog + handler team costume. Winner of each category will receive a voucher for one comp’d run at a future ODTC barn hunt trial! Saturday night (~4pm) we will have a pizza party ($5/person), teams fun runs, and another fun game for dogs who do not want to run with others!

The trial is open for both snail-mail entries and online entries at www.midatlanticbarnhunt.com
