Hi there, Tell me what you offered at your shows. Obedience? Lunch? How much did you sell your catalog for? Did you offer advertising in your catalog? Did you ask local people to help sponser your show? I think you need me to come there and see Salior and do a little Pacific Northwest hussle :0) Terry Cyndy <cyndy@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: I'm sure you've heard it/experienced it before...our specialty club lost money on our show this year - about $250. I do not know how we can continue to hold shows. We are a small club, and can't afford this expense. We had a pretty decent turn out, not the biggest, but quality dogs from all over the country. If we hire "local" judges to save money, we'll lose our local entry because no one will be able to show. We Texas GSD exhibitors are somewhat incestuous. We charged $21 for entry fee. Is that low? Any ideas from other clubs would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks! Cyndy www.texasdogs.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2004.
