Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: Let them eat cake.
Hi Heather,
I agree but the Board was trying to move it around for fairness reasons.
The problem is that it never fills in the west and costs money instead of
makes money. It's probably a reason why the stall numbers were
changed...to try to fill it but I'll have to let someone else comment
about the exact reason.

Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: Let them eat cake.
I have some insight as to why they couldn't sell out Utah. It's out of
the way for EVERYBODY. Nationals, held in Louisville or Cleveland is
convenient for a large portion of the east and midwest, and certainly
those who live in Litchfield won't even have to stay in a hotel for the
show. How convenient is that!
Salt Lake City is not a bad drive for those in the Southwest and
California, but if you live anywhere else, it's a nightmare. 13 hour
drive over mountain passes from Eugene. Actually from Phoenix, it's an
11 hour drive. Also a bit much.
