Thank you to all the Members and Affiliate Clubs who cast their vote!

The 2020 National Show Committee is working with Onofrio to finalize the Premium List.

Onofrio has been delayed, and we intend to extend the closing date further out to account for that.

Hopefully, our shows (National and Specialty shows) will be open online very soon!!!
