Danielle Miller brought up that the BOD was moving towards year round fundraising to which Carra McClelland replied that there had been no interested parties in the fundraising position, and that it remained vacant after a year of advertising. The NAN 2014 Auction Coordinator Solicitation was made live. Carra McClelland started a poll asking whether or not NAMHSA should grant reciprocity to the Down Under Nationals (DUN).

REGIONAL REPORTS -------------------------------------------------- REGION 1 ------------------------- No Report REGION 2 ------------------------- August 25th was an exciting day with the Delta Stampede! Show taking place in Stockton, CA, hosted by Cindy Ruth. The show hall was packed, classes commenced on time and went on nonstop until late that evening. From Cindy: "Region 2 ROCKS! You all made DS '13 a fantastic show once again, but this year was awesome! I want to thank all those who came to the show. We had a record number of entries. WOW! Who would have thought we could pack the hall? I want to thank all my judges who gave up a whole day for the show, my announcer Chris Jones and everyone else who helped.

Look for more information on Jane's show soon. REGION 3 ------------------------- Happy Fall Unfortunately our region has not had an entirely happy fall so far, with significant flooding in Colorado. Best wishes go to folks in the affected areas. Region 3 was host to three shows on August 17 Pioneer Classic in Utah, Red Devil Live OF Stone/China/Resin and CG China in Colorado, and CassAway Live Mini Meltdown in Arizona. Unfortunately, I didn't receive any reports from the shows in Utah and Colorado. Reports from CassAway Live are that everyone had a fun time. The Hawaiian theme was entertaining, the combination catered/pot luck lunch was great, and the show ran smoothly and efficiently. Christine Armstrong judged the Youth Division and took the time to explain to the young showers why she placed each class as she did. Congratulations to Cindy Davis on another very successful show! Teresa Candelaria held the first episode of her newly reinstated "One Woman Show Series" on Sept 7. This edition was for CM horses only. Although a full house was expected, late defections led to a small but also very relaxing show. Teresa awarded necklace/earring sets to champs, and candy (always appreciated!) to reserves. Next up in her series is the OF Stone Show on Oct 12. In the mean time, we have a nonmember show in Phoenix on Sept 28. The always popular Tucson Mountain Live will be held on Oct 27 and the following weekend (Nov 2), Teresa will host the All China edition of her show series. Enjoy the colors, crisp nights, and cooler days everyone! REGION 4 ------------------------- No Report REGION 5 ------------------------- Region 5 only had one show for August, Hooftoberfest All Halter Show, in Euless, Tx., hosted by a new show holder, Heather Gearhart. Heather did a wonderful job hosting her first show and has plans for more shows in the works. Big Congrats to Petra Kirchstein on winning the ZUNI model!! REGION 6 ------------------------- Hello All! There were two shows in Region 6 in August. Region 6 Saturday Social AR show was held Aug 10 in Gainesville, GA. By all accounts, this was another fun show! Florida Cracker Live was held Aug 17 in Parrish, FL. This was a sold out show with tough competition, topped off with a great catered lunch (and a little rumbling thunder!). One of our don't miss Florida shows! Next up on the 2013 Region 6 calendar are: Hollow Horse Live 3 in Cumming, GA on Sept 14 The 26th Annual Southern Model Horse Convention in Covington, GA on Oct 5 Palmetto State Live in Jenkinsville, SC on Nov 16 Rockin' Redneck Roundup Live in Kissimmee, FL on Nov 30 See you at the shows!

Mandy Yontz and Tonjia Clark are hosting the SE Ohio Model Show in Cambridge Ohio. We hope to see everyone there ! REGION 8 ------------------------- There were three great shows in Region 8 in August! First up was Midwest Model Mania, held on August 17th in Galesburg, IL. This location is one of the prettiest places I've ever shown at, and those present enjoyed looking out over the lake while showing against tough competition. August 24th brought in two shows, one in Illinois and one in Michigan. The Illinois show was another one of the very popular GLC No Frills shows, with tough competition but a mellow vibe. The Michigan show was the Models and Milkshakes OF show, and by all accounts, was very successful! Upcoming shows this fall...
