Class Sponsorships and Advertisements

The Kentucky Border Collie Association will hold the

52nd Bluegrass Classic Stockdog Trial at

Masterson Station Park, Lexington, Kentucky on

May 16-20, 2012. 

This is one of the longest running, most prestigious trials in the country and draws exhibitors from coast to coast as well as Canada.   Many of these competitors are dog breeders, trainers, and livestock owners.

The Bluegrass Trial is not just for sheepdogs.  Masterson Station Park is pet friendly.  Spectators can bring the family dog.  This gives sponsors an opportunity to reach a very large canine-friendly audience.

A free catalog is distributed to all spectators and exhibitors.  It features an explanation of the trial, trial course diagrams, a daily running order of exhibitors and their dogs, a list of vendors on site, and information about our sponsors.

There is a sponsorship category and ad size for any budget.  Sponsors receive a free ad in the catalog.  In addition to the benefit of your ad being seen by thousands of people, our announcers will read your prepared ad during scheduled hours of the trial.  We can also promote your products by passing out your coupons and gift certificates to exhibitors and spectators.  Preferred seating for sponsors and advertisers will be available. 

Your sponsorship or advertisement helps defray the cost of putting on such a large event.  Approximately 800 sheep are leased just for use at this trial.  Judges are flown in from various parts of the country.  Daily prize money is awarded to the top scoring dogs as well as the top dogs in the last day of competition.

Vendor space is available at the trial.  Your booth, tent, table, or truck can be set up next to the trial field.  Vendors will be listed in the catalog.

Sponsorship and vendor forms  for 2012 will be coming soon.

  
THANK YOU!
