What is the Nolan River Kennel Club show?
The Nolan River Kennel Club hosts three all-breed shows — Friday through Sunday, January 8–10, 2027 — at the Somervell County Expo Center in Glen Rose, Texas. It is a working exhibitor’s weekend: three days, three shows, one venue, in the rolling country southwest of Fort Worth.
Glen Rose is a small town — the show has a friendly, close-knit feel that the big-city clusters can’t match — and January in North Texas is some of the most pleasant show weather in the country.
