Well Kathy, I usually am optimistic, but if you've been reading some of my other posts, you know I'm actually not optimistic with this World Trial even at all ! If we don't find large sponsors, I think we are truly in a huge mess. They've had over 2 years to work on this, and to my knowledge, do not have any yet. This first came up back in 2006, so that is a total of 5 years, and then, in 2009, when the final decision to do this was made, the ball should have been rolling at that point. So NO, I am not optimistic in this one. I just hope that I am so so wrong, and I will be the first to write an apology to anyone involved in this for being wrong, and this thing will be a huge success, and make a little money to boost. At this point, if we break even it will be a success. I just hope I'm wrong! Chris Chris S. (Jolley) Kimerer www.tanbarkgsd.com Ch. Tanbark's 2MuchBling Joelle Aramist OFA H/E Ch.
