After a great deal of deliberation, we have decided to cancel this year's Specialties, which had been rescheduled to Oct. 17 and 18, 2020. We feel that this was necessary to avoid any situation that might increase potential spread of COVID-19 to our judges and exhibitors.
We will begin planning for the May 1 and 2, 2021 shows and hope that they will be able to go forward!
