2025 show is moving along well. Trying to get a route inside the building for sponsors to drive in and unload. Vendors are being encouraged to have a certificate of insurance. They could get a deal with the insurance vendor if enough are interested, very reasonably. There will be a social after classes Saturday and a “best head” contest with prizes. Several people suggested to do some sort of remembrance for Gordy Zachow, who recently passed away.
