It's getting close! Who is planning to attend? How many are you planning to show?
 
I will be there. Hoping to have 30 this year.


Wow are you serious Juanita?! That's a lot of grooming!

We are going to try and make the long trip to Nationals. We will be showing less then 28 after we go through and groom and make tougher cuts of who's going and who's not.7
 
I had 27 last year Kyle. What's 3 more? Probably the difference between sanity and calling in the guys in white coats! Oh wait, there will be lots of people there in white coats so I will be in safe hands! Randy thanks for the offer, I'll take any help I can get since Bob won't put his hands on a chin. He's awesome at carrying stuff though so I won't complain. Can't wait to see you all.
 
Wendy & I will be there! And I think Brent is coming along, too. not even a clue how many I am bringing yet. Been working extra shifts and haven't had time to go through the show line yet.
 
If anyone wants to advertise in the show book, I will need the ad and payment by this weekend so I can get it to Jim in time to print.
 
I'm not ready either and planning on showing an ambitious 30 chins. Any help always appreciated. I say planning because I always find that one rebel decides to pee on themselves enroute to the show. Grrrr
 
I'm happy to help whomever, although I think Cheryl (Poetrue) has first dibs on me, since she's dragging me to the show!
 
I'm planning on attending next year. I even did mapquest to see how long it will take to drive from SO CA to Indiana. We are going to make a vacation on this.
