I had the same thoughts after I read Gail's e-mail.    Wow,  she tells it like 
it is,  not hiding anything, the complete situation the way it is at this 
moment, complete honesty.  That is EXACTLY what this club needs right now. I 
was 
not planning to go to National but if I were after Gail's e-mail I would feel 
much better about the situation.  I did not realize that Forg park had that 
much 
damage.  About four years ago we had to move our show to a new location at the 
last minute because the fairgrounds where we usually had it was under water.  
it 
was hard enough to find a spot just for two specialty shows let alone a 
National 
specialty.  I have all the confidence in the world that Gail and her show 
committee and anyone else who may be working on this will find a new site if 
need be.
