Don't the same people do them all anyway but two different weekends and 
expenses and time
for Clubs and members?    It just gets done in ONE weekend.
Big enough entry.....you can give your Jr. handlers a little pocket money to 
set up Sat. and break
down everything on Sunday.....<G>.......and if we exhaust the handlers they 
might be more motivated 
to give the Jrs. a couple of their dogs.   < BIG G>

Also......I doubt the Specialty Clubs and All Breed Clubs have the same people 
in Oregon?
Irregarless, my point is NOT to follow Oregon..........just to consider other 
options instead of just 
saying shows are failing.     You can decide it won't work .....or give it some 
thought and consider it.
It appears Oregon did.   
As it is..
Instead of finishing one show weekend and then turn around and spend the next 
few meetings
preparing for the next 'set' of shows.....you would be done in one weekend and 
free up Club
meetings and another weekend of work and expenses and printing and mailing, 
etc. and TWO
weekends of wearing out club members.
Add to that .....now Clubs have to meet AKC requirements in between just to now 
qualify to put on
these shows.    That takes up more work and weekends for members.
If it's all compacted to one weekend of four shows.......Clubs can overlap in 
helping each other and 
getting it all done once and for all.    Less Printing, Less arm Bands, less 
mailing,  less setting up
less putting on Luncheons........??

Consider Exhibitors as "clients"......They are the reason we put on shows?    
Give them four majors and they will come.     <G>   Give them double the long 
drives and Motels they pay 
for....handler flights and lodging they pay for.....double the hours of 
driving.....and less choices for judges
as the payoff........I'm not sure what I'm missing here? 
It makes a longer day yes.....for everyone...yes....but when it's 
OVER......it's OVER.....and you don't have 
another weekend like that waiting for you a few months later.............?

  See what  Kay mentions.........FOUR All Breed Shows and TWO 
Specialties.....ONE  Drive and location. 
  Time to start thinking outside the box!!!   Carolyn,
            
________________________________________________________________________ 

  FOUR SHOWS & TWO SPECIALTIES sounds great to  the exhibitor...........but 
  what about the people who are  putting them on?  The same people will have to 
  do all 4  shows.
  Specialty clubs are folding because fewer new people are  entering dog 
  shows and the current members are aging.  Find me the  box, please!
