1 week left to give us feedback! Even if you mentioned to a board member an idea during the show, please complete this.... as we are human and were thinking about multiple things....

We appreciate your feedback about this year's show. We cannot guarantee meeting everyone's ideas/ needs, but we try. So if a change does not happen that you suggest, it's because for the greater good it was not something that could be done. Thank you for feedback! ~CNY Appaloosa, Inc. Board Members
