The National Show is rotated between the three districts in an effort to keep the show moving around to different areas of the country. Each District will have the opportunity to host the National Show every third year. The show should include a sheep show with four wool divisions, a judged fleece show, a junior sheep show with two wool divisions, and the annual membership meeting.
It is important to realize all the work that is involved in handling a National Show. It is highly recommended that it be held in conjunction with an established fair, sheep, or wool event. Limited funds are available for the use in purchasing ribbons, trophies or premiums. The Marker is available to help promote the location, date, and information on the show, meeting, and other important facts.
The judge for both the animal and fleece show should be a known judge of natural colored sheep from the NCWGA recommended list.
In the past, the annual membership meeting has been held in conjunction with the National Show and provisions for such a meeting are the responsibility of the host. This requires a place in which members can meet and discuss those issues that concern the association.
A display space promoting NCWGA must be set up at the event to include NCWGA promotional materi
