My favorite shows are the Sspecialty Shows in Tucson. I love being the Show Chairperson......We have great grounds at the hotel & the hotel staff is great to work with I love all the planning,& seeing it come together just the way I planned it...It is like throwing a party for my favorite 100 people......We are a small club and I can always count on Renee Politi, Rick & Audra Haase, Lamont Ullrich &and my husband and daughter for help. We usually try to have luch available, and try to have dinner 1 night somewhere on the hotel site (no traveling....just move in for the weekend and be spoiled) We always have a great Hospitality Room, the night prior to the first show....supplied by our membership Because Tucson can be rather warm, we have cold water ringside for everyone both in the courtyard for Conformation & Performance We hope to see all of you here for our April Show April 12 Conformation Judge Nancy Harper and on April 13 Conformation Judge Bob Grady we may even be able to convince Bob to wear his white suit Judy judsohngsd@xxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kathy Tank" <rbuffdogs@xxxxxxxxx> To: "SHOWGSD-L" <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, December 17, 2007 9:37 AM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] What is your favorite show? Hi Guys, Seems like things may be getting a bit tense on the List this morning, lol. So here's a question to re-direct, What is your favorite show (no fair saying the Nationals) each year, specialty or AB, and why? In naming your favorite clubs , this is in NO way speaking poorly of other clubs that you have not mentioned, so let's not get hackles raised, lol. Personally we always look forward to the shows in AZ, Phoenix and Tucson. Very well run, with exhibitor needs at the forefront, always. There is always food / drink, washing set ups, and the committees at these clubs seem to try very hard to make sure everyone is happy. Tucson is a bit farther for us, but the plus is that the show is held at the hotel....so nice to unload and reload the van only one time. Also Tucson has done a wonderful done accomodating exhibitors with things like a hospitality room, dinner or lunch. I understand the Monroe, LA circuit is just awesome, indoors I believe, and hospitality abounds. Have not had the pleasure of going there yet, but hope to at some point. Biggest pet peeves (no naming clubs, now) Clubs that neither provide lunch or snacks or even water, nor have the site anywhere near where one can easily walk to a store or fast food to grab lunch, or a snack . It can be a LOOOONG day for exhibitors with no water available, and no food (even chips ) quickly available. Kathy http://www.victorygermanshepherds.com Ch.
