[QUOTE="Avalon, post: 560911, member: 7275"] This was the first in 12 years that we did not use our natioanl show as a vacation. My son went (working for another family), to be a voting delagate and recieve a scholarship. So his fun was paid for by our good friend (his boss). But heres what we figured it would have cost if we had taken a couple heifers. The show always lasts a full week. Mon-Sat. and needs a full day to day and a half in travel. Ours are always a long haul. Entry fees: $45x2= $90 Fuel: $600.00 from Central Texas to DesMoines Food: $400.00 Hotels: $600.00 My wife always made us stay at the headquarters hotel for the festivities. Extras: $300.00 Total: About $2000.00 It's well worth it for the fellowship & experience that it gives to the kids. But we didnt see any need to go for ourselves this year. These shows are a way for your kids to get to know the movers and shakers of your breed and industry. [/QUOTE]
