I have only been to one...it was weeks after the 9-11 tragedy in the U.S...the late great Dick Whalen and the still here great Cappy Pottle were the judges...the Canadian National was very relaxed at a time when many of us were un-nerved and semi-depressed, of at least I was....the Canadians as far as how they conduct their shows are really outstanding...we could learn a lot from our northern neighbors...wish I could go this year but I'll have 31 nine year olds expecting me to get them ready for 5th grade!.....please pray for THEM...lol...FB ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
