We have a number of vendors signed up & are expecting more as we get closer to the date. Due to our situation this year there will be a few changes, we will forgo our usual dinner & awards ceremony, instead we are inviting you to join us for a dinner with the judges Saturday evening at a restaurant close to the show venue. The awards will be presented mid morning on Sunday at the show. We are pleased to have Art & Nichole Lembke as our judges with judge candidate Henry Culpepper assisting.
