This site sounds just great!!!! Why has it not been considered? It is hard to believe that we keep having "coastal" sites chosen when places like this are not being used or considered. I think that nearby major airports are very important - but - having the largest number of exhibitors being able to drive to a site from any direction should also be very, very important. Personally, I do believe that a site good for all aspects of the National, proper facilities for the comfort of our dogs, and exhibitors should be very important, access is also important. This site sounds as if it might have it all...........
