Steph and I attended this show last year and was very impressed. Extra wide aisles, plenty of lighting and lots of hospitality. We would recommend if you can, go and see for yourself.

Beautiful day at one of the best run shows in the US. Quality was real deep in several classes that I handled and the birds on Champion Row could have won anywhere. Conrats to all the winners and thanks to the show management for making this one of the "Must attend" shows of the fall Season. Cya in 2009!
