 Motel Information

The closest Motel is the Quality Inn in Tully, 5779 State Route 80, NY 13159

It's about 11 miles from The Lafayette Apple Festival Grounds

Make your reservations as early as possible as it is also State Fair time in Syracuse and it can be hard to get motel rooms.   At the Quality Inn in Tully, the prices are about $147/room in June and they go up to $180-$190/room in August, plus there's a $20 pet fee.

Other recommended motels that are not in Syracuse (which we don't recommend because of the State Fair and all the construction on I-81) are The Lincklaen House (Terri's Favorite) and the Hampton Inn & Suites in Casanovia.  There are also plenty of motels in Auburn, NY. 


We will be using the myK9Q program!

This program is an addon APP to the Trial Secretary's program.

It will allow Exhibitors to Check-In online.

The Gatekeepers will be able to manage their Gates using it and the Judges/Timers will be able to Score each dog live.

But wait, there's more! After each dog has completed their run, the Handler can go back to the APP and see their Preliminary Placement, LIVE!

You can find the instructions on how to download and use the app here: https://www.sotc.info/myk9q
