It greatly affects our breed when all the negativity spawns and people decide not to go out of fear that was built up by nonsense. In the 14 years we've lived in our home, our property has been hit by 3 tornadoes, 2 hurricanes, a crippling snow storm, two incredibly damaging ice storms, and you know what? I LOVE living here and we have no intention of leaving until my husband retires. I know I have a greater chance of suffering bodily harm just driving to the local grocery store than I do of getting clobbered by Mother Nature. Go to the National and have a blast! Do it for us Pity Partiers who can't make it. Go for all the people who have made this National possible despite the myriad of obstacles thrown their way. Go for the exhibitors and their dogs! Please, go!!!

I lived through a horrible tornado which brought a shopping center down on top of me in my hometown of Beaver Falls, PA...................now I dearly love PA and that would never stop me from being in my hometown. And I would never fear a National there. I would love it. You just can't ever tell what mother nature holds in store for us.
