According to ABC policy the district director is suppose to select a show in his/her district for the district meet each year. Supposedly in an area where it will be well attended. The district meet should be the top Ameraucana show for the district with the exception of the district that is hosting the national meet. The national meet should be the top Ameraucana show of the year.
Since the South Central district now has several ABC members who show at its district meet, it is decided at our district meeting. We discuss fall shows within the district that the group would like to have as our district meet. Then the group votes on which show they want to be our district meet. Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi and Alabama have recently been added to the SC district. Yes, Knoxville, TN. is a candidate to host our SC district meet. Our 2018 district meet will be the national APA special held at Shawnee, OK. On November 17th & 18th, 2018. ABC members attending our SC district meeting at Fayetteville, ARK. On Nov. 4th & 5th, 2017 will need to decide on an alternate show for our 2018 district meet, in the event the ABC board decides that the APA national show in Shawnee, needs to be the ABC national. I’ll bring up Knoxville, TN. as one of our shows to consider for our district meet.
