THANK YOU Rochester - Back in 2009

A huge thank you must go out to so many people for making the 2008 DCA World Championship a success. To Local Show Chairman, Allen Buell and his staff, you guys make this look so easy and we all know it is so hard. To Matt Ford and Allen Dungy from the Rochester Rhinos, it's impossible to match your level of cooperation. You guys are amazing and made us all feel so welcome. It truly is a world class facility. For those who weren't there, there is a top notch jumbotron and the show is broadcast live on the jumbotron as they perform. At the top of the jumbotron is the championship logo... so clear and just hanging there in space. Once dark... it is an awesome sight. What a facility.

To Visit Rochester and President Ed Hall and his staff - wow, you gave a world class welcome to everyone - fan, performers and officials... and now you can take credit for some of the best championship weather on record. To Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks and Rochester Mayor Bob Duffy - thank you so much for your cooperation and your contributions to the Championship Weekend. To the Rochester Police Department, you guys are the best - never have so many people been told "you can't go there" with such professionalism that you simply smile and say thank you and take their direction on where you really should be going... these guys are pros - Thank you!

We will be back in 2009. If you had a problem or a suggestion, feel free to forward them to info@dcacorps.org - we have listened in the past and we will listen now. The planning for the 2009 championship quite literally began last week. Plan now - the 45th annual DCA World Championship - September 4th, 5th and 6th - Rochester, NY - Paetec Park.
