Now that you mention it......that grass WAS pretty green....and Herding was......well... just too easy to watch and participate in....since it was right there on site...... My biggest complaint was that there was NO bad seating.......AND there was a big area to stand or double...ring side.... and STILL not block anyone's view! Probably the BEST situation and view for the handicapped I have ever seen.....you just could NOT block the view of ANY of the spectators......not matter how hard we TRIED! <G> Not to mention so many choices for food and Motels nearby! Whoever found that site.......( I think it was Joan Fox )..........GOOD JOB! And a great 'set up' for the arena Mr. Burggraaf!

It was too hot!!!!!!!!!!!!! A little bit of rain and some clouds in October would have been appreciated. Where were the winds? I need some wind to feel like I am alright and to do battle with my camper awning at 3 in the morning. Where was it? Whose fault was that? I think it was Bob Grady's fault. Nadine made him do it. The grass in the ring was wayyyyyyyyyy to green. and the seating, well what can you say about those darn seats? What's wrong with bleachers I say. I moved all over the place and could not find a seat where I couldn't see and that wasn't comfortable. What's up with that? I could go on and on but I will stop with these bitch's.
