The show season is about half over and we are wondering if all of you think that the show attendance is up, down, or the same as last year.  From looking at the results, the numbers at most shows seemed to be either unchanged or up.   I do know that all the stalls were filled at the Gold Cup, but it seemed that the numbers as Penn Ohio were down some (no verification on that, just my own personal view).  What do you think?

(The last poll on hay prices was quite scary, I thought with over 29% of voters are paying over $6/bale! The rest of the breakdown come out to the following: 16% are paying between $5-6/bale, 14% between $4-5/bale, 23% between $3-4/bale, and 18% between $2-3/bale)
