I am happy for both parties. If Dana had not bought the show years ago, it would have probably died. I am sure that he is so busy with his auction company that owning Bloomington Gold did not make much sense anymore. I wish Guy great success with Bloomington Gold. Registration opens tomorrow so I am looking forward to June.

As a brief aside, is it true the Benchmark road test is scrapped this year due to construction in the area of Pheasant Run?

They are moving the show in 2013. I think it's going back to the State Fairgrounds in Springfield.

Jake,

That's what I thought as well. I got an e-mail that said Champagne but then a number of people told me it was Springfield?

All I know for sure is they're leaving St. Charles after this year. I for one will miss Pheasant Run.

Yes, that is correct. There will be no road test this year due to road construction.
