This series about live showing in Indiana was prompted when a new show in Indiana, The Clover Classic, was announced. As the series progressed, there was a question that was asked on the Region 8 Facebook page about how many NAMHSA members there currently were.
Here's a reminder:
R1: 10 (Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming)
R3: 11 (Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah)
R4: 15 Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska, North & South Dakota
R5: 19 (Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana)
R6: 20 (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North & South Carolina)
R7: 28 (Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee)
R8: 35 (Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan)
R9: 24 (Delaware, Maryland, D.C., New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia)
RX: 21 (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island)
R11: 5 (Canada)
Region 8 rep Chris Wallbruch's response surprised me, and led to a discussion as to why Region 8 had more members than any other region. (I would have guessed Region X which is a very active region with a large population.)
It is interesting to note that 3 of the 7 of the Hoosier shows (Indy Blooms, Clover Classic, and Dark Horse) are in their first or second years while FAMulous is only in its third. The "hotbed" is either recent or heating up again, depending on how you look at it.
Will the trend continue? Or, as it did in the late 1980s/early1990s, will it fade again?
Hard to tell, but I am curious to as to what the future brings to showing in Indiana. Something I will "stay 'tooned" for myself!
