Yes they are, but if you want to compare numbers of exhibitors per state, then California has it, going away. Again to draw similarities to the National. You need to put them where they will potentially get the best draw. The Nationals at Ft Collins was, from what I understand an overwhelming thumbs up from exhibitors (us included) and would love to see it be one of the three permanent sites if that were to ever come to pass.....I think like real estate...it is going to be about LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION, for nationals and Futurities...esp in light of punishing gas and air fare / shipping prices.
