During the Blyth shows I stayed just outside the city limits of the nearby Goderich at The Bluffs Motel which had been listed in the show premium.  I think this hotel is something of a tradition for dog show exhibitors attending the Blyth circuit.  I think most of the 20 or so rooms were taken by dog folk, some of whom I recognized from Sarnia.  I had Golden Retriever people on one side of my room and Standard Schnauzer people on the other side! 

This older "L" shaped drive up to your room motel reminded me of 1950s -60s America (as I have seen it in pictures, of course!)  All the room windows were open when I arrived (it did get quite pleasantly cool at night) and each individual room had its own window unit A/C.  Each of the rooms had a bench outside the door so you could sit outside the room in the evenings and chat with your new neighbors (and people did this too!) The window in the bathroom was open to the sight of a golden wheatfield not 20 feet away.   One huge plus for this motel was the grassy acreage with shade perfect for dogwalking directly beside the parking area across from the rooms.  Another plus was what I think was a reasonable rate (I think about $65 + tax Canadian per night. However, there was an unanticipated minus here or there too.  Imagine my utter surprise when there was a sign by the bathroom sink which said that the tap water was 'Not Potable'!  Each room had its own very flyswatter, obviously to battle those unwanted intruders inviting themselves in through the open windows.  And I never could get the TV to play more than one channel. . .and it wasn't CNN.  So my three days at Goderich were spent blissfully ignorant of global happenings in general.  By the time I left The Bluffs, it was my 6th straight dogshow and my 8th day on the road and I was so tired (but happy), I didn't much care.
