Frank :
It is a difficult job to select an event location that pleases everyone . The event locations that were selected while I was events coordinator for some 12 plus years considered several things ,not limited to just one feeling .
Factually-----the demographics of the PGCA says that approximately 75% of the membership live east of the Mississippi ,with the geographic center of the mass within a one days drive from Louisville ,KY. , the center !!! I personally took time to fly or drive from Vermont to check out places in Willington ,OH-- Columbus ,OH-- Cincinnati ,OH --Lexington ,KY---and Louisville , KY. I know that there were MANY people that did not show up for the annual meeting that are PGCA members , even though it was within the one day drive limit .
There is one other question that comes to mind----------Who is willing to spend the necessary hours of organizing the event to make it a successful turnout ???? It is not easy, believe me .
The PGCA also has a presence at Pheasant Fest that has been held in Minneapolis , MN and other Midwest locations that VOLUNTEERS are always welcome .
