To Our Exhibitors, Friends, and Supporters of the Ancient City Classic Cluster,
It is with profound disappointment that we must announce the cancellation of the 2027 Ancient City Classic Cluster, which was scheduled for April 8–11, 2027, in Elkton, Florida.
This decision was not made lightly. Unfortunately, the St. Johns County Fairgrounds did not reserve our requested weekend and instead rented the facility to another event. As a result, the venue is unavailable, leaving us without a location to host our cluster.
We know many of you travel from across Florida and throughout the country to attend our shows each spring. Some of you have been part of this cluster for many years, while others have only recently discovered our event. Whether you come to compete, visit with friends, support vendors, or simply enjoy a wonderful weekend with fellow dog enthusiasts, you are what has made the Ancient City Classic Cluster such a special event.
We understand this news is disappointing, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and disruption this may cause to your plans. Please know this cancellation is the result of circumstances completely beyond the control of the Greater Daytona Dog Fanciers Association and the Greater Orange Park Dog Club.
Although we are heartbroken, we are already planning for the future. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in 2028 and are committed to making the Ancient City Classic Cluster a memorable event once again.
From all of us at the Greater Daytona Dog Fanciers Association and the Greater Orange Park Dog Club, thank you for your loyalty, friendship, and continued support. We truly appreciate every exhibitor who has made our cluster a destination event over the years.
We look forward to seeing you in 2028.
With sincere gratitude,
Anne Baxter
