The monthly Mini Shows are a great learning opportunity to further your knowledge of what will be expected when entering larger shows. The Exhibitors as well as the Judges must follow what is asked for in the schedule. Points earned at the monthly mini-shows will be totaled for the Annual Meeting in January and a prize will be awarded to the people with the 1st, 2nd and 3rd highest number of points.
