I have not been following the thread BUT the last National in Ca was 1995. The last one I went to. Tried to go to Oregon but my Mother got very sick so I could not go. I would give anything to have another National HERE!!!!!! Has any one checked on the Long Beach Convention Center?? Just a thought. I am sure if we really thought they would have it here we could find a good place. I know for a fact every time we found a place we got shut down big time. Could even be in Nevada. Every one else has it there.
