Reply With QuoteSomewhere around Chicago is the correct answer.....because of cost it will not be in Chicago but somewhere in that general area.
As details get locked down we will keep everyone informed. Hope to see everyone there. It will be a blast.

As far as Nada 2016, I'm guessing Texas got the rights to it again?

Re: Nada 2016
Awesome! 5 hours or so for me. I was hoping it would be somewhere reasonably close.
Re: Nada 2016
The Midwest Drinkers/Discus Association (MWDA) decided to get serious and become the Midwest Discus Hobbyists (MWDH) and give NADA 2016 a serious shot. Being centrally located should allow for many people to drive in, and two major airports and several discount airlines in Chicago should make it one of the most affordable places in the country for fliers to travel into. We've got a handful of hard working dedicated discus keepers in our group, many satellite members we expect will pitch in when we need it, and a secret weapon from just outside Atlanta to help us put on the best damn NADA show ever.
Looking forward to actually meeting many of you that to date I've only met digitally. Oh, and if you care to indulge in adult beverages, I think we'll have you covered there too.

Re: Nada 2016
Finally a short drive. Chicago is a great area and should make for a great show.
Re: Nada 2016
Cool,should only be a 45min drive for me!

Re: Nada 2016
Just out of curiosity, are we talking actually in Chicago, or, a city close to Chicago?

Re: Nada 2016
Depends on hotels. The trouble with Chicago is it is a union town and so that affects the setup and take down process....i.e. we would have to really over pay some slackers to do what we could do ourselves. Lots of details still need to be set. They will be made
available when they are set.

Re: Nada 2016
I think its safe to say Chicago proper has been ruled out.
