Now, let’s talk about our favorite event! The 9th Annual American Akaushi Association Convention is coming up June 4-7! Registration will be online only, and is scheduled to open Feb. 3. You may wonder why we moved the convention to June. As I have said before, we are a family and we want to make this a family event. We want to provide an opportunity at a beautiful resort for families to spend time with each other and enjoy a weekend full of all things Akaushi. We are looking forward to another fun and successful convention this year, and we have some fun and exciting things to come. See page 26 in this issue for more information. Please make sure you follow us on Facebook and check our website to find the latest and greatest news that is happening in the association and with the Akaushi breed. I invite those who are interested to serve the as- sociation in any capacity possible, such as trade shows, field days or sharing carcass data with neighbors. Let’s make 2020 the year we work to- gether to tell the Akaushi story, because together we are AKAUSHI! PT
