North American Nationals (NAN)
What is NAN?
The North American Nationals ("NAN") is a national championship show held annually and hosted by NAMHSA. This is the world's largest model horse show, regularly attracting entrants from around the globe.

NAN AUCTION

The NAN Auction is an annual fundraiser conducted in conjunction with the North American Nationals (NAN) model horse show, hosted by the North American Model Horse Show Association (NAMHSA). Each year, select artists create fantastic items specifically for the NAN Auction. These individuals donate a percentage of the proceeds from their items to help support the presentation of NAN, a championship show held yearly by NAMHSA.

1. Reservations must be made before June 19, 2009 to get the "North American Nationals" rate of $99.00 per night (tax not included). We urge you to make your reservations now because there is no guarantee that the hotel will still have rooms available at the cutoff date.**

The Courtyard-North Harbour is a new facility. It is perfectly located just about a quarter of a mile from the Portland Expo Center, the location for NAN 2009! Other wonderful features:
- free 24-hour shuttle transport to and from the airport

**The Courtyard is just yards from the other NAN Host Hotel - the Fairfield-North Harbour. Apparently there is a large religious convention in town the same weekend as NAN. The Fairfield-North Harbour was featured on this conference's website and the entire hotel sold out as a result. Currently the courtyard has availability but we urge you to make your reservations as soon as possible to ensure that you are able to lock in a room.
