2012 Empress National Show - March 9, 10, 11 - St. Joseph, MO

[Lynn & The Chins]

Check Southwest. They had an even lower special of $70 each way ($140 RT) recently and they let me modify my flights to get it!!! They don't charge change fees and I get an $80 credit to use within 1 year -- you can bet I'll be flying them again!!! :thumbsup:

If you are going to Nationals and haven't reserved your banquet ticket or meal choices yet, please do so before tomorrow!

I'll be sending some money along with my S-ladies for the raffles! Hope everyone has fun and I will be there next year for sure!

 

[Lynn & The Chins]

We'll miss you, Tabitha!!!

 

[lauralynne]

Tabitha never comes! Hmph.

 

[RDZCRanch]

Tabitha never comes! Hmph.

I know. :cry3: Thank goodness I'm graduating this year...that means I will definitely be there next year! It's just too far away for me right now to get out there with school five days a week.

 

[ccChalieAndSpruce99chins]

sigh i really really really wanna go but the tickets are like$500 now and the cheapest ones are $300, still too much for me to afford. so sad..

 

[designer chins]

Two weeks to go! Nothing is cooperating here. Do I have to show or can I just come & socialize?? :hair:

 

[Shahna]

Wendy: You MUST come... animals or no animals. If you don't have your Ebs, at least we don't have to worry about you hogging all the trophies

Just tell them cooperation is not an option!

 

[Godins Chinchillas]

What are they having for raffles? Any live animals?

I hear ya. With everything going on here, I won't be able to make it either.

There will not be a live animal raffle this year. But there will be raffles for other items.

Groomed again & gave everyone the cooperation lecture. Warned them of the California beauties that will humiliate them if they don't start shaping up. Also bargained with them that I will stop grooming as soon as they look worthy. One male showing good compliance! Two females swearing they will shape up. Several still weighing their options. One male & one female who look worse just to spite me, as they are Jenera champs that I had high hopes for at the National. They told me they want to stay home, thus are rebelling. They forget I am stubborn and may groom them daily just to stifle the rebellion and make them examples for everyone else considering such lack of cooperation!! One the up side a few of the nearly 6 month olds are showing real promise for MCBA!!

Also bought stock in 3M due to lint roller consumption. There is chin fur floating everywhere in my grooming area despite vacuuming! Do Merry Maids offer a Chip-n-Dale style cleaning service?? Heeheehee!:thumbsup:

 

[lauralynne]

Wendy, you crack me up!!!

 

[lauralynne]

Good luck to all this weekend!

Tomorrow's going to be a long day. I'm at the hospital at 545 for bypass surgery, not mine, lol and after that and a speaker, loading chins and JoEllen and driving! See everyone there!

 

[aznmexaggie]

We are on the road, currently in Wyoming. See you all soon!

 

[chin-nw]

Good luck to everyone. Drive safely
