Checklist For What to Look For in Your Club's Next Show Venue

Availability

Does your club have a date set for its show? If it falls within 50 miles of your last show and is on your regular, traditional date, you don’t need to go through the show scheduler.

If you are planning a new show date, you will need to obtain permission. We have a show scheduling committee available to help you find a suitable date for your club. They will also consult with your Regional Director to get their input. It can be challenging to find an affordable venue that is also available on your preferred date. It is important when you discover the venue you desire that you verify its availability for the date.

Sufficient Space For Your Cat Show

Space is a premium, but if you can get it, there are great ways to use it. An extra ring setup is very helpful for many purposes, such as crowd-pleasing events like educational topics, meet the breeds, cat costume contest, “catwalk” presentation, or any other extra features you can think of. Having additional space means we can have numerous vendors, rescues, and breed booths, adding valuable content to the show for our guests.

UP CLOSE AND Purr-sonal

If there is one person, or even just a name, that anyone in CFA (Cat Fancier Association) knows, it would have to be Allene Tartaglia. It might be from her involvement with most aspects of the operations of CFA in her position of executive director. Or perhaps from her deep involvement with both the CFA Annual meeting and/or the International Show. Cat Talk thought it was time to learn more about one of the most key people in CFA.
