My recollection is that the Board told the powers to be to enter into contract negotiations for Beaumont- rumor has it that the price was more than we were originally quoted- they are getting back to me on that in April- part of the consideration was the low price- additionally since we looked at the show site my friends went to a show there last fall and it was very hot- not good for dogs being transported back and forth-Houston has several flights for five hundred crates-but I venture to say most of us will have to drive to get there-Kris ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carolyn" <marhaven@xxxxxxx> To: <cyndy@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2005 4:15 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: beaumont NOT easy! > > BIGGEST problem for Beaumont is that NO ONE TRIED TO BOOK A DOG THERE > IN A # 500 Crate before they booked that site!! > Houston IS the main hub for Continental but Continental will not take a dog as > excess baggage!!
