Sharon always holds this show in conjunction of the Preakness race where we all cram into her home, show models, eat a great lunch and watch the race! REGION 3 ------------------------- Happy 2014 everyone. Unlike most of the country, we had a cold December, but a relatively clement January so far. For the most part, the region has been quiet. We had one show in December, Teresa Candelaria's One Woman AR show on the 7th. That was followed a month later by her OF Plastic show on the 11th. I heard the plastic show was the biggest of the series saved the best for last I guess! Many thanks to Teresa for putting on this show series. We have nothing planned yet for the rest of 2014 hopefully there will be some shows in March and April. In other region news, congratulations (I think!) to Yashka Hallein for taking on the NAN Chair position for 2014. Both the Chair and Registrar will be Coloradoans this year! And congratulations to Dayle Steinke, who is our new Merit Award Coordinator. Dayle is also from Colorado! REGION 4 ------------------------- In Region 4 the Milwaukee County Horse/Horseless was held by Charlene Ehlert in Oak Creek, WI. It turned out to be a great show with plenty of eye candy! In February Karen Meekma is holding the Sleigh Rally Model Horse Show in Columbus, WI. March will see the Sinawa Model Horse Show in Valders, WI held by Greg Stebnitz and the Crystal Creek Riders Double Judged Spring Model Horse Show in Randolph, WI hosted by Kathy Gunderson. Finally, in April, Brenda Metcalf is again hosting the Pie Show in Hazel Green, WI. Wisconsin is definitely a hot spot, but we'd like to see even more shows around Region 4! It's a big region with lots of empty space in between cities, but there are plenty of exhibitors who will make 4, 6 or even 8 hour drives to attend shows! If you're interested in hosting a show and would like to know how to get started, email me and I'll be more than happy to help you out! REGION 5 ------------------------- No report REGION 6 ------------------------- I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe holiday season, and Happy New Year! There were no shows in Region 6 in December. We have several shows lined up for the new year! We have two shows scheduled for January: Palmetto State Live in Jenkinsville, SC on Jan 18 and a fun show scheduled in Columbiana, AL on Jan 25. Coming up in February and March are: All The Pretty Ponies Live in Gainesville, FL on Feb 8, Palms and Ponies Live in Apopka, FL on Feb 22 23, Central Alabama Live in Montgomery, AL on March 1, and Carolina Gold Classic in Monroe, NC on March 8. There are more shows scheduled later in the year as well, so make sure you check the NAMHSA website for upcoming shows. See you at the shows! REGION 7 ------------------------- No report REGION 8 ------------------------- Cold enough for you? As we shiver in Region 8 in record cold temperatures, it's nice to reminisce about the December 7th No Frills Holiday Show in Huntley, Illinois! This show always sells out quickly, as entrants know not only to expect tough competition with lots of friendship, but plenty of extra perks like the annual potluck lunch! The show was made more special by a surprise appearance by Sandy Cord and Stu and Arlene Bentley, all of whom had brought many nice discontinued models for sale. The day was wonderful!
