Today was a kind of sad day in Pensacola because it’s the day we say good-bye and pack, but are very excited to head to our flagship show in Gulfport. Success is the best word to describe the new Florida winter circuit in Pensacola. We did not get the numbers we were hoping for our first year but all the divisions filled and our Grand Prix classes jammed the stands with spectators. We have signed on the dotted line to come back next year and maybe even for four weeks.
I flew back and forth for three weeks from east to west spending my time at both circuits in north Florida. I will be glad to stay in one time zone when we get to Gulfport next week.
The shows in Jacksonville were also a success. Again, the shows were lighter than they have been in the past but the shows ran well, thanks to a great crew and staff. The shows in Jacksonville will run in 2013 and NFHJA is also planning four weeks next year.
