Congratulations to all the winners at NAN! Photos and results show that it was a tough competition this year! The BF reports say that this year was one of the best yet with the fun theme and amazing special models available. Coming up next month is Mid-Valley Classic in Albany, OR on August 18th. This show is held by Cheryl Wood and is always a great time! We also have Sweet Onion Live on August 19th up in Walla Walla, WA. This show is held by Shana Bobbitt, and looks to be a wonderful show as well. What an action-packed weekend! ----- Region 2 (Tom Dean): No shows to report in the region for July. A few hardy souls from the region managed the longgggg trek to Kentucky for NAN, Breyerfest and Equilocity. Next up, Delta Stampede on Aug 26th in Stockton, CA hosted by Cindy Ruth. Hope to see everyone there. ----- Region 3 (Pauline Entin): Well, the weather feels like summer, but here in Arizona, the kids are already back in school. There were no NAMHSA member shows in Region 3 in July, but we did have some travel-hardy Region 3'ers at NAN. Congratulations to all of you for making the cross country trek to show off your wonderful models! We're disappointed that NAN 2013 won't return to the West, but hope for the best in Pennsylvania. August has brought the return of member shows - in Colorado. Teresa Fedak iis hosting her Red Devil series, one as held August 4th, for OF plastic, and the next is August 18th, for OF china/resin and CG china.
