I suspect it's waiting to see how missed it is.  If you wish the OLSS was still going weigh in.

Even though I didn't judge much I enjoyed looking at the groups and I try to get my sheep kids to look too

I always looked forward to the new class and to see how people judged them. I would love to see it up and running again!

I still have kids go through the old, placed classes.  A lot of value there.

Interest in the show seemed to be waning. Fewer people were judging and I was often having to scrounge up entries to fill classes. At the same time some of the judges were busy and sometimes struggling to judge the classes on time. Since the show was suspended, I can count the number of people who have asked about it on one hand. So Don's assumption is somewhat correct. It hasn't seems that it hasn't been too missed. If there did seem to be renewed interest and there were willing and enthusiastic judges, I would be willing to resume it.

Definitely interested on my end and a great resource for our 4-H group.  I haven't asked because I just figured all the important people were busy and it would be up again soon.  Do you need entries?  I have a few that I can get cleaned up a bit in the next couple of weeks and photographed.  It would be great to hear the good and the bad about a few of my sheep.

maybe we could have prizes for each age group awarded at the years end prizes would be given out and you could get sponsors from breeders that way more people would judge

That was just about the only thing I came here for, but after it stopped I just about do not visit this site any more. Happened by today as it is cold and snowy here and had some spare time.
