Oh, take it easy. The board made a bold move. It will probably be a fiasco, but what does it harm? They said a class may be made up of something that isn't perfect, but still showble. We still have a standard, the judges will still judge to the standard, the winner of that silly class will go into winners and look foolish. How does that harm anyone. Take a deep breath, let it out. Then consider that the board was looking for a way to increase the entries. Even this board gets to make mistakes. Evan L.
