Lets see we could solve this and have it in a different state each year so every 50+ years it would be in someone's state... but wait no that wouldn't work because to travel from southern Florida to northern florida is about an 8 hour trip and I am sure from one tip of Calif to the other is close to that too, if not more. There is no win win situation for everyone which is why this gets beat around continually. Where is the center of the US, is there a facility to handle the national, smack dab in the middle of the US, where ever that is. what is east, what is west, what is mid west. Everyone has an opinion and not everyone agrees so where ever the national is, someone is going to be upset..........its the way of life : ) -----Original Message----- From: Liane Fossland <lfossland@xxxxxxx> To: rightdogphoto@xxxxxxxxx; 'DaList' <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thu, Oct 22, 2009 1:20 pm Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: nationals So, actually we should divide this country into more than 3 regions like lso dividing north and south? That will make it 6? think no matter how much divided it will be there are always people who ill be dissatisfied with the results. erhaps Kansas might be the answer after all for all future Nationals but I m sure this will be cut down as well. here is the Purina site located? ee F. -----Original Message----- rom: showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] n Behalf Of Ruth Scheubler ent: Thursday, October 22, 2009 10:11 AM o: DaList ubject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: nationals and we should remember "east cost" and "west coast" covers a long stretch orth-south. If you live in Boston and the east coast show is in Orlando, it s probably closer to go to Ohio or Indiana. If you live in Portland, OR and he west coast show is in San Diego, you might as well drive to Ft Collins except for the wonderful San Diego weather). All various sections of the ountry need to be considered. uth ________________________________ rom: Sally Hayden <dan-ann@xxxxxxxx> o: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ent: Thu, October 22, 2009 6:56:45 AM ubject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] nationals The east coast and the west coast should not have to dream about nationals n their area- This years was closer to the east but still a hike for the ast coast - next year is closer to the west but still a long drive for the est. ally www.embroiderybysally.org ===========================================================================OST is Copyrighted 2009.
