'Twas the night before Christmas & out on the ranch
The pond was froze over & so was the branch.
The snow was piled up belly-deep to a mule.

I would agree with Fred, the new Nebraska State Fair facility is TOP DRAWER! In fact it is amazing. Would be THE perfect place for a Jr. National or major sale. Easy access, lots of good hotels and restaurants. Central to the US.

One of our original planeteers, Matt Davis and his lovely bride Katy Jones were married yesterday!
A big congratulations and best wishes to the new couple!

YIKKKESSSSS! I am laughing so hard I am not sure if I can type this.....
BUT....somewhere out there in the magic kingdom of DC.....there is a $5000 per hour LEAR JET warming up to haul Princess Pelosi back out to bankrupt California. Love and kisses, girlfriend!
