Happy Spring to everyone from the Northwest! ****** Region 2 (Tom Dean) One show to report for the month, February 12, 2012: Eureka Live in Santa Barbara, CA. Hosted by Donna and Harvey Stone, the 9th (?) year of this show was as enjoyable as the previous years. As usual, Donna outdid herself with a Mardi Gras theme and plenty of caffeine and chocolate to keep us judges fueled. Of particular note was the Youth division with 9 entrants and a number of models that would have won their respective open division classes. Next up, Achy Acres Mini Spring Fling on March 17th in Galt CA hosted by Heather Visser, and Over The Hump Live on March 24 in Pahrump NV hosted by Donna Anderson and CeCe O’Connor. ****** Region 3 (Pauline Entin) No Report ****** Region 4 (Carra McClelland) Show season is ramping up in R4!

Don't miss your chance! ****** Region 8 (Marilou Mol) Region 8 was really starting to heat up in February...in lots of ways! The weather was phenomenally nice, so people were anxious to get out and go to shows! There was only one show actually in Region 8, and that was the February 17 Great Lakes Congress No Frills show. I was unable to go, but the show was sold out, I know. GLC has been attracting a number of new members and showers to the hobby. The rest of the time, Region 8-ers attended shows in neighboring regions and waited for March & April, which will feature several upcoming shows! ****** Region 9 (Pat Coulter) No Report ****** Region 10 (Kate Cabot) No Report ****** Region 11 (Terri Wright) No Report Posted by Teresa Candelaria, NAMHSA PR 4/2/2012 | |
