You can show - you just have to get out there. |
Boy, I really botched this one up. I meant to say - yes, most people drive to all their shows. Reason why some of us now have RVs. Just easier and feel like your home and stuff is with you.
Specialties - still many of us drive there, even the one in NY. If the show is far away and one has to fly they ship their stuff ahead of time. It is cheaper this way. I know people around my area that still drove to NY for the Specialty and they were showing there and at Westminster. If you saw the Merit Award Winners - two of them were from my home state. So competition is very tough around here in my neck of the woods, but we have a good time.
Mary, many of the shows in FL in the 80s were outside. I know Tallahassee and WPB were inside, but most all others were outside too. Now, there are mostly inside shows. I like these better, in case the weather gets bad. There was a show I went to last year in NC, it was inside - but way too hot. I thought we were all going to faint. Many did not show back up on Sunday. I was glad I was only entered in that show for Sat. and did not have to return.
