The cluster will be held at the Saginaw County Fairgrounds in Chesaning, MI. This site is roughly 20 miles southwest of Birch Run near the intersection of M57 and M52. It is accessible from I-75 (Clio Exit) from the East and US 127 (M57 exit) from the West.


All judging will be indoors in heated buildings. The fairgrounds was delighted to host our shows and has responded to suggestions by upgrading the lighting in the largest building. There will be reserved paid indoor grooming spaces, unpaid reserved grooming in stalls. Grooming reservations open on March 1, 2023 and a link to the online reservations will be shared prior to the opening date. Free grooming space is available as well for day of show setups. Outdoor washing stations are also available.
The site includes over 20 acres of parking on flat ground, and we will have a food truck on site. There is an adjacent campground with 62 campsites with electric hookups, 40 camping sites without hookups, and a dumping station. The site is about a 35 minute drive from the previous Birch Run show site, hotels, and outlet mall. There are also hotels south of the show site in Owosso. A list of hotels will be provided in the premium list.
The alternative campgrounds closest to the fairgrounds are the Pine Ridge campground in Birch Run and Jellystone in Frankemuth.
There is plenty of room to expand at this site, so we are hoping to add more in the future! If you belong to a performance or specialty club that would like to join us, please reach out.
