Clearly they want to be, and I don't think area 2 could care. They have good reasons, area 2 has plenty of events. For that matter, I don't understand why South Dakota is sticking out there all by itself, and I think it's Wyoming (?) Is alone also.

Area 8 is the most logical area for western PA to compete. If you were from this area (I live in Pittsburgh and have my entire life), you would realize how difficult the haul is out east and how easy the haul is to Ohio. From western PA, there are many travel options to help avoid the extremely high PA turnpikes tolls into and out of ohio. That wouldn't be an option traveling out east. We have become familiar with the Area 8 venues and enjoy their competitions. Lastly, the trip into the Ohio area is about 1-2 hours to every farm, but would be 3-4 hrs, sometimes longer, to compete in Area 2. Thank you for allowing us to be heard.
