I like that idea - how many other shows would that conflict with if it were held in mid to late Sept (or even the beginning of Oct)? No matter where the National is held, those of us driving may be traveling through bad weather getting there or back. The later in the fall, the greater the odds of bad weather somewhere. I will add that Colorado weather is similar to Utah in not normally having extreme weather this early. Today it's beautiful here, so it'll probably be the same tomorrow in Colorado!

Our whole weather pattern is changing. They've been having snow early which is great for skiers but would be a disaster for driving and airports, You know we can move up into Sept. We did that the year in Phoenix when we used the Baseball Outfield ,after Bob Hamilton's death.It was cold in St. Louis the last time,but much colder and rain this time. Perry used to be so comfortable,and still cool for the dogs Like our voting,we can change our Months thzt the national may be held.
