Western States 2008 will be held July 28 thru August 2nd in Grand Junction, Colorado.

Every even year, traditionally the clubs in the North West and South West JCNA Regions get together to hold a big concours. The Challenge Championship is traditionally held on the odd numbered years and in 2009 will be held in San Antonio.

For 2008, we will also be celebrating the 50th Anniversary of JCNA at Western States. This is why we are encouraging all 65 JCNA clubs to attend Western States 2008 as we will be celebrating the 50th Anniversary of JCNA in many ways. There will be a publication that each couple will get a copy of. There will also be displays of all the club’s articles in the Registration Room throughout the week. Speaking of the Registration Room, we will be gathering for many of our events in the Registration Room where our sponsors will have their tables set up. We encourage everyone to visit with our sponsors and support them as without them, this event would not be possible.

The Western States web site is up and running, www.westernstates2008.com.
