Clayton, NY (March 27, 2012) – Sailing Seaway Clayton organizer Michael Folsom announced today the confirmation of a new featured event, Seaway Splash, which will consist of a weekend full of dog jumping competitions on the former site of Frink America in downtown Clayton this coming June. In addition, TIMIS (Thousand Islands Marine and Island Service) has been named presenting sponsor.
"DockDogs is excited about bringing our high flying canine sport to the Thousand Islands region and more specifically to the village of Clayton," stated Grant Reeves, CEO for DockDogs Worldwide. "We are expecting teams to join in the fun both locally, as well as from across New York state, the province of Ontario, Maine and Pennsylvania. DockDogs is both exciting to watch and even more fun to try. Be sure you bring the whole family out including your pups and give it a try."
“We have been working over the winter months to ensure this event would be a part of our festival and thanks to the patience of DockDogs and the support of TIMIS, we are excited to announce that we are bringing this nationally recognized competition to the Thousand Islands,” said Folsom.
DockDogs, which first debuted in 2001 in Lake Placid, New York, has become a hit among sportsmen and has made its way onto national television networks, including ABC and ESPN. In the past ten years, the sport of dog jumping has grown across North America, resulting in hundreds of competitions each year and nearly 30 organized affiliated clubs, while spanning across 4 countries.
The Seaway Splash presented by TIMIS competition stage includes a 40-foot long by 20-foot wide pool, as well as a 40-foot long by 8-foot wide dock platform. Competitions will run over the course of the June 15-17 weekend. Times and registration information will become available in the near future. The competition is open to any dog and owner interested in participating.
Sailing Seaway Clayton will enter its second summer in 2012 and is set to feature the Canadian sail training tall ship Fair Jeanne at the Thousand Islands Regional Dock. This past June, more than 5,000 visitors made their way to Frink Park for the inaugural event to see America’s Privateer, tall ship Lynx.
