Wow that's way early. Are colleges even back from Xmas by then? I'm too old to remember.
College coaches were telling them they were more likely to come if it was way earlier.
Seems like a moot point to me with the event not counting for NCAA qualifying, but whatever.

It's up! January 4 and 5.
They say they are moving
Anyone think it will go back to the livestock convention center? I attended the event before it was moved to the hotel and the hotel environment is much better.
Don't know if we will be attending now................

I would much rather work with 100% heart and 75% talent than 100% talent and 75% heart!

The Livestock Area was a ways away from the hotel. Quite a walk if on foot. If you were in one of the lower divisions you jumped downstairs with no heat. It was pretty cold down there.

They have not announced officially, but the Livestock Arena website says it will be there

It's some kind of IP address issue, but if anyone wants to see just go to http://www.visitrenotahoe.com/facilitie ... livestock/ and click around
It looks like the other event in the arena will be the factory direct RV sale. They are in the exhibit hall and parking lot.

I'm with you! I'm not that excited either

On the other hand the attendance may be too low to worry about it. This is now also on Christmas break! Will ticket prices be more $$$$? I know of several people who already have vacations planned during this time
