I haven't taken the dog in the past and realised that there has been loads of dogs there despite them saying that dogs aren't welcome. There is a big dog show there so they can't say no dogs. I know they aren't allowed in the halls or livestock places, even though you still see them there. OH and I will take it in turns to hold the dog outside while we view.
I could leave him at home but it means cutting short our visit so I am taking him this year and will see how we get on.
