We have been getting lots of calls with questions and that is great but if you leave a message, please leave your phone number because we don't have caller ID.

No problem Tim.
One of our judges had to back out for kind of the same problem and we had to replace David Johnson with Tommy Lee.
At times we have tried to get James Miller to judge our show but his boss wont let him take off in January - he drives a snow plow in Missouri for the state.
The deadline is not till tomorrow and we suspect to get a few on Monday but it is looking good with a bunch of new exhibitors.
Did you get your entry in?
