WOW,MOMMA THAT's A LOT!!! "RJM"

• Alan, you're right. Nobody should ever doublecheck what's given to them from a dog club. What would be the point? Plus, the NWC sign is way out in the middle of nowhere; nobody ever drives past it. Let's see who performed the Herculean feat of getting it right: Denver Post article about the same show: The 14th annual show at the National Western Complex included judging on looks, obedience and agility.

• Anon, Please go wag your finger at the Denver Post, which has it as National Western Stock Show Complex in today's paper. So does the dog show's own press releases. So do many other references on your favorite reference site, the Internets. Even the official National Western site isn't always sure what the hell they want to call it, since "Stock Show Complex" is in pretty common usage even when the stock show is long gone. Geez, basic stuff, and everybody's got it wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong!

• Um, do you mean the National Western Complex, Alan? The Stock Show just happens to be at the NWC. The dog show, I'm betting, has no relation to the Stock Show, which was last month. Geeez, basic stuff. http://www.nationalwestern.com/complex/complex.asp
