Judges
We have a tremendous trio of judges this year. Joe Kaiser, Shawn Dawson, and Mitch Webb will judges our show, and all will present informative seminars.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR COMPETITORS
We will be following the same procedure as last year for placement of mounts in the competition room. You will need to get the necessary paperwork for your mount before going to the competition room. You will be required to do any final grooming outside the competition room. A member of the competition room committee will escort you to your place or hang your mount; you will then leave the room. After 7:00 p.m. Friday evening, the mount will be put in place by a committee member as judging will begin at that time. NAME TAGS WILL BE REQUIRED AT ALL SESSIONS. This will be strictly enforced during the times of seminars and the competition room. Please don’t be offended if you are asked to put it on!
