My immediate reaction is the poor clubs who are hosting a futurity. They won't have any idea of how many to plan for-how many catalogs to order etc. What about the shows with the futurity. How do they plan -if you skip the futurity will you show up for the specialties What about the specialites in the same area but not in conjunction with the futurity will they get any entry at all.How many shows can a person afford to enter. Specialties in some areas are hurting now what will this do to them Sally www.embroiderybysally.org ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
