This  question is for those of you who are planning to show at the 
National.  I  have asked several people including Tish, how much the sod costs. 
 The 
 general consensus seems to be between $5K and $10K.  Since the PC is in  
financial straits, would you be willing to give up the sod for a properly  
watered and packed dirt surface?  If properly done packed dirt can be a  great 
surface to show on.  The dirt arena at he shows in Crosby, TX is  smooth 
and even like glass and there is no dust.  I know that the  exhibitors were 
not happy with the dirt in OH.  Just  asking.


As the person who tore a hamstring the last time we tried packed  dirt, I 
say go for sod. Also, I think it costs closer to $20,000.  I do  think we can 
negotiate for it.  There was a shredded rubber service in  Canada that I 
judged on, that looked great.  I understand you can take and  store it and use 
it over.
 
Maybe we should look at that.
 
And, I also remember 82 in Ohio. Anyone want to talk about that  surface?
