Closet Confidential – The Star Of Bethlehem Cluster
The end of the dog show calendar for 2023, like it always does, features a treasure, The Star of Bethlehem Cluster. This gem is known to many of its loyal fans as the BEST cluster of the year. It features a great show facility that is easy to reach from good highways and small and large airports. Ask the exhibitors and judges who arrive at the Lehigh Valley Airport. It’s 15 minutes from the venue, The Agri Plex at the Allentown Fairgrounds. On the very same site is The Allentown Farmers Market that features a neverending array of culinary delights. Everyone flocks into the market each day to eat there or bring food to the show. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee, desserts, and pretzels are avail-able–among so much more.
