9 ISLAND GROVE FAIRGROUNDS SHOW SITE Welcome to Greeley! Greeley, CO is at approximately 5,000 ft in altitude. Our dry climate, coupled with the altitude, can affect you greatly if you are unaware. Please use the following suggestions so you can enjoy your dogs, friends, and our shows to the fullest: Drink lots of water! Your body will dehydrate quickly, even though you may not notice your thirst until you are seriously dehydrated. Sodas, teas, juices, caffeinated drinks and alcoholic beverages are not as effective at rehydrating your body as water is. Wear sunscreen! Even if the day is cool and overcast, it's important to wear sunscreen. The worst sunburns can happen on cloudy, overcast days. Ultraviolet rays travel through clouds. Get plenty of rest. Use bug repellant with DEET to repel mosquitoes. Mosquitoes spread West Nile virus, which makes some people extremely ill. Remember that mosquitoes are more active early in the morning and in the evening. Did we mention you need to drink lots of water? Remember that your DOGS need fresh clean water at all times, as well and can also be affected by the change of altitude. Please make sure your dogs also have plenty of water available to drink. Thank You for coming to our shows! Afghan Hound Club of Greater Denver & Evergreen Colorado Kennel Club 9
