Third (!) Post of the Day
When your mom is a historian, you learn the importance of keeping certain items. (Note, I did not say EVERY item. Hah!) That's why I was not surprised to find not only the paper ephemera from the first NAN, but its counterpart from the 1997 NAN, too.
The official show program.
This year it was a two day show and much, much bigger than 1995 NAN.
And that is reflected in the number of volunteers and the types of jobs they were doing.
Entrants were not listed by state this time - I found that a little disappointing. But, the names are alphabetized so you could still find your friends.
The town you were coming from was listed, too.
174 entrants came (or proxied). This was actually the third NAN. In 1996 what became known as "traveling NAN" and happened every other year was held in Pomona, CA. (The last one was held in Palm Springs, California in 2015. For years there had been a variety of ongoing problems holding NANs away from Kentucky and the decision was finally made to keep the event coupled with BreyerFest.)
Apparently I did not complete taking photos of the 1997 brochure. Sorry, but it's all packed away now.
Kathy and I are back together for the 1997 NAN. Stay 'tooned!
