congress poll

[Lewella]

I heard the total number of horses this year was only 430. Until these numbers go up its going to be limiting on what facility they can afford. Kinda a catch 22 because it cant grow without moving to a new facility either

Cost is another advantage to using the Lancaster Events Center. The GPSEA Club is VERY small and the Area VI Club isn't much bigger but both clubs have had successful shows at this facility and even made money! Last year when GPSEA hosted the Area VI National Show and the show went extremely late on Sunday night the facility only charged the GPSEA club $100 for the extra night of use and the club then split that between those of us who were laying over the extra night. I think it came out to each of us paying about $2 per stall. This facility will bend over backwards to get and KEEP a show. The local papers will bend over backwards to do write ups for a show too - the 2006 Area VI National Show had huge numbers of spectators after the local newspaper did a feature on the show and Don Maas as the AMHR Breeder of the Year being one of he exhibitors.

Anyone who would be in favor of Congress being held at Lancaster Events Center in Nebraska please write your Area Director and let them know! Tracy Slagle is also collecting letters of support for this facility to bring to Convention and her email is [email protected]
