Will the Nationals be in Perry GA again?

If so, how much longer is the PFHA contract with the Perry Fairgrounds?

If not where will it be?

I feel so lucky that the Nationals has been in Georgia. I have been able to attend every year for 3 or 4 years. I am close enough that it's easily a day trip (there & back) from my home.

I believe this is the last year in contract with them... but who knows maybe they'll stay there!

[Serendipity]

lucky you! its 9hours for us and 11 if i leave and am already tired :roll:

[Cindy]

Yes, it is in Perry. PFHA rules require the National Show to be scheduled like 4 or 5 years out so it is there for at least that long as it has not been voted to go anywhere else.

I think Perry is a great location for Nationals - yes its to the east coast but its between where most of the paso fino farms are - from NY - all the way down to the florida keys.

[LynnG]

Nito, I think the complaint about the Perry location is its more remote location as it is not near a metro city to draw in new spectators in which to promote the Paso Fino to and sell horses. So the horses end up being shown to people who already own them. That is what I've heard more then once.

I'm looking forward to going. I might not have a paso. But, it will be fun just the same.
