• We, the undersigned ADGA members, respectfully petition the ADGA Board of Directors to approve the 2027 National Show Proposal for Salem, Oregon, as recommended with an 8–0 vote by the National Show Long Range (NSLR) Committee.

The established National Show rotation schedule designates 2027 as a Western Region year. The Salem, Oregon location is the only proposed venue that fulfills this regional requirement and provides a viable National Show site for the members who live in the Western Region.

Members in the West only have access to a National Show nearby once every four years, and maintaining rotation integrity is essential for fairness, accessibility, and balanced opportunities for all members across the country.

We acknowledge that the facility prohibits sleeping in the barns. We fully accept this rule and are prepared to utilize the available on-site camping options, including RV hook-ups, water/power spaces, and tent camping within convenient walking distance of the barns and show arena for sleeping even if we usually sleep in the barns

The Salem venue offers the space, infrastructure, logistics, accessibility, and exhibitor-friendly layout necessary to host a successful and professional ADGA National Show. This proposal ensures that the Western Region receives its rightful place in the rotation and that all members are afforded equitable access to the event.

By signing this petition, we urge the ADGA Board of Directors to vote YES on the Salem, Oregon proposal for the 2027 ADGA National Show.

Let’s uphold fairness, regional access, and the established rotation that serves all ADGA members.
