Despite some bad news in January of an avian flu outbreak in Indiana, so far there have been no further reports and shows and swaps have continued making plans for their 2016 events. A lot of updating has happened in the past month since many states officially had their regulations lifted and dates were set for 2016. Time to start planning out your travel schedule! There are several brand new shows we've added to the website in the past month so show your support and consider attending.

We are partnering with the ABA to maintain an ongoing list of ABA sanctioned shows. The list is not complete yet, but will grow as shows send in their dues and officially sanction for the year. It is a work in progress so the look may change, but check it out - ABA Sanctioned Shows.

Again, a reminder of a great change that we hope will be a service and help to both show secretaries and exhibitors alike. Our goal is to make the process of finding a new show to attend as easy as possible so we are now offering our catalog and entry form download hosting options as a free service to each show. I just need a pdf of the file and anyone who visits the show page can now immediately download all the information about the show. If you have been sent a catalog and entry form via email, please forward them on to me so new exhibitors can benefit. Try a new show this year! We'll make is as easy for you to find one as possible.
