2020 has been a challenging year, so far…. With just about 9 weeks away, the volunteers have been working hard to get the 2020 National put together in Rochester, MN, but the Olmstead County Fairgrounds just contacted the Northern Lights AEDA to cancel our weekend due to the Fairgrounds now being an active test site for the CoVid-19. Northern Lights is not able to find another site that will accommodate the National or that does not have CoVid-19 restrictions.
With the help of many, NAEDA has found a new location for our 2020 National – Norman, Oklahoma. Hope you can still join us!
