Stormy posts... Maybe this is a good time for some body to remind Louisville city council what they would lose financially if the National was not held there? Stormy Paul adds... Laura Thomas and Stormy Hope of the RALEEF committe researched what it would cost Long Beach, CA if they lost the Eukanuba show. The figure is staggering for a finacial community. It would be approximately $3 to $4 MILLION dollars for a show that goes...4...5 days at the max if you consider early and late exhibitors. Does anyone see a new strategy developing?
