I for one will not attend the Victory Dinner I would love to but we all know that BOB is usually over right near the start of the dinner and everyone has to rush to the hotel, shower, change etc. this year they also have to drive 20 to 30 minutes more to the dinner. Drinking is also an issue as noted. I guess we are spoiled having the dinner at the host hotel or right on the premises where it is very convenient. I am disappointed but between the cost and the travel distance back and forth it just isn't possible this year.

The Honor Ceremony, to be held on Friday October 11, is proving to be a large attraction. We have many fine representatives of our versatile breed to honor. They are a credit to all of us. The Holiday Inn , Hampton Inn, and Best Western are all within very close proximity to the show site known as the Dream Park. The Clarion has been remodeled and offers good food service. The year's room rates are just awesome, some of the most reasonable we have seen in recent years. Philadelphia International Airport is a much closer drive than was Atlanta to Perry or Denver to last year's show site. Unfortunately, we can't always have everything as we would like. It is frequently "give and take". The Holiday Inn, is named our "Host Hotel" but is smaller than we have seen before and therefore cannot accommodate our group for the Victory Dinner. The Victory Dinner is held at the Marriott Renaissance Hotel which very close to the Clarion and approximately 22 minutes from Swedesboro - Holiday Inn. For those who HAVE NOT purchased Victory Dinner Tickets we have a question for you - IF a shuttle were provided from Holiday Inn to Victory Dinner would that make a difference in your decision to attend? We are holding purchase of Dinner Tickets open. The dinner promises to be excellent from this 4 star Catering Department. Travel Safely and good Luck to everyone.
