NTA 2021...

... will be held in Spencer Ia.

The ITA put in a bid and looks like it will be back in North, North Western Iowa, 2021.

Glad to hear that Iowa will be hosting. Went to an Iowa convention last year, and you guys make a fella feel welcome. Appreciate that.

Looking forward to it, use to go to the Spencer fair all the time. Been a long time ago but the grounds are nice

That will be a long one for me......19 1/2 hours - each way!

I hear you. It's 4 hours from my place and I live in Iowa!

6 hours for me

shore would like to see it east of the big muddy again soon

Dang couldn't you get it in Spirit Lake! Closer for me. Great to hear about the location!

Stand by if all goes as planned I believe Ohio will be bidding for 2022

Stow away in Paul's truck with the skunky Backbreaker

11.5 for me, hope to be there though!!

Always a family reunion!

Absolutely agree! And the family keeps growing every year.

spencer isn't far from mason city. has a BIG fairground

I will be there 9 hours not bad wife has it on calendar

Any idea on what the dates are for Iowa yet?

Only if we get enough volunteers to sign up. Escanaba is planning on bidding for that year also.

Cotton, it's in Kalamazoo next year. That's east if the big muddy. 😀

I have been up to Escanaba twice I think in the last 5 years or so. I will say its a decent trip up, but I really enjoy the summer weather up there. Not to knock you southern boys cause I like heading south to trap in January - but I am just glad it is not down south in the middle of summer......the NTA was in my home state last week and it was a good show, but it was hot. I'd likely have preferred going back north.
That ground up there in Escanaba can take a pretty good rain shower and you wont know it rained by afternoon. I can also sleep outside in the summer up there pretty well....guys up there in Michigan do a good job as well.

Hopefully the nearest rest room won't be a quarter mile from the camping area, eh?

I think it was closer to a half mile! Least it seemed that way in the morning. First place I ever had to get in the truck to go pee!

I grew up in spirit lake just north of spencer, They have a wonderful fairgrounds and will be a great venue.

I'll be at this one, grew up about 9 miles away.

Hogwild I know all too well about the volunteer crew. That is what I meant when I said if all goes as planned. I was one of them at 2013 that missed out on a bunch of things I needed but by the time I had a free hour to shop they were gone. Mike Bruns and his CO's had to man the buildings from open to close with no breaks. Yeah our time at Lima was bad

hopefully will be plastic outhouses in the campground

9.5 hours not too bad but that don't count pulling the camper.
might try and make it

That will be a good show looking forward to the road trip.

I believe you need to recheck the distance Cotton. It is 19.5 for me and I am not that far from you.

It's only been like 15+ years since it was in nw ia, oops I was thinking Iowa convention

From Max Meadows, VA to Spencer, IA, it's about 1,078 Miles. Cotton, you'll be flying right along to make it in 9.5 hours - lol.

He might have one of those Dodge hellcats! Ya don't know! Lol 700+ horsepower

ITA was in Northwood not many years ago (3-4???)

Very Excited for this one. Will finally get to put names to faces. I'm already saving my pennies for this one. Should be the time of my Life. Only 4 Hour Drive for me.

Northwood is ne, not nw

If I'm in a hurry I can get to Spencer in under 40 minutes, 36 miles
Plenty of bathrooms on clay county fairgrounds, every year they have about 10k people through the gate daily during clay county Fair, sposed to be one of biggest county fairs in America

You're right I was thinking of Britt. Maybe 5-6 years ago?

Believe he was replying to a comment about K-zoo, not IA.... y'all need to follow along better, LOL

3.5hrs. for me. I'm planning on going, probably will never be closer.

Yotetrapper30, you may be correct since Kzoo was mentioned and the time matches pretty close for that one.

20 minutes for me,,

20 minutes or so from me too

Only 3 for me and I'm in NE!

Where will the 2020 convention be?

Kalamazoo Michigan

a little under two hour drive for me
