The last leg of my trip is the awesome show the Yeager family put together with MidAmerica team, unbelievable organisation, with numerous seminars, panel discussions, lots of contents, huge prize giving and some great catering….

Unfortunately the weather literally “flushed ” a lot of the fun, but still the show is amazing!

The welcome dinner at the Yeager’s was warm and nice, as always! did You recognize our big friend from Tennessee, Dr. Mac Jones? second from right?
