Hi Ed, As members from the Great State of Utah, of course we support your efforts to bring the Nationals to our beautiful state. We were there with you when you made the promise to fight for our right to host the Nationals and we are still cheering (can't you hear us?) If the State of Utah can host an Olympics and receive accolades from all over the world, certainly we can do a bang-up job of hosting a GSD National! All we want is a chance. On our credit side we can boast an International Airport, great climate, a couple of fantastic facillities that would serve the Nationals well, more than plenty of hotel/motel room space where dogs are welcome, RV accomodations that are supreme and a State that is a vacationers paradise, to name just a few. On the debit side - well - I can't think of any at the moment. <VBG> It is so amazing to read your posts - we learn something new from - almost - every one! I, for one, was not aware that Utah was the home of the first GSD imported to the US. Guess I need to do more reading? Keep the information coming!
