A group of Easterners have had quite the time trying to reach their destination these past couple days.  It has been reported to Holstein World that a group of national convention attendees planning on taking in the sites of the Black Hills, Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Corn Palace and other SD attractions with the Pre-Convention Tour have either missed, almost missed or their luggage missed the bus that left this morning.  Mechanical problems and an absent flight attendant are a couple of reasons for their rough start to National Convention.

Despite these trials and tribulations, it is assured to us by our SD Holstein hosts that the things they can control will be entertaining, enjoyable and fun!  They are really looking forward to hosting the convention this year and have quite the convention planned that will turn these sour lemons into some sweet lemonade.  For a look at this week’’s schedule, visit www.holsteinworld.com/southdakota2006.  We will be reporting on convention activities each day through Daily News on our homepage, this blog and the convention newsletter that we will be posting online.

Living in NW Iowa, I am really looking forward to the short 1 hour drive I have to convention headquarters in Sioux Falls:)  Best of luck and safe travels to my co-workers and convention attendees from across the U.S. as they make their way to this year’’s convention.  Can”t wait to see you there!
