Here we could learn something from the Puerto Ricans. Their shows start at 6:00 in the evening and run into the late night. At least the temperature is comfortable. ****************************************************************************** ******** Thank You, Thank You, it is nice just to be nominated....<G> I knew the day would come when we would be recognized for other than our good looks and our awesome food....LOL......... Yes, we do have LOTS of funs at the shows in Puerto Rico. We hold shows in the evening, with flowing pina coladas for everyone. And salsa music playing loud (that was the only salsa I knew until I moved to Texas) All this racket never bothered the dogs. Some people can't dance, but that's another story. The evening shows are always packed, with the sea breeze bringing down the temperatures. Sometimes we have shows morning and evening. Dogs never looked tired, but the handlers all sport a nice tan. Makes for beautiful pictures. Evening shows are preferred by the workers and the exhibitors alike, that way everyone can go to the beach during the day. I've been telling you people, bring back the FUN!! Ileana Always aim to do the right thing. It may not be popular, but it will be the right thing to do. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
