A letter from the NCHA President and Executive Director

To sponsors, exhibitors, vendors, colleagues and friends,

On December 9th, we brought the 2018 North Texas Chevy Dealers NCHA World Championship Futurity presented by Great American Insurance Group and the 2018 Mercuria World Finals to a close. And with that, we want to offer our sincere appreciation to everyone for coming out and supporting the event! The high level of success we experienced with these two shows, could not have been possible without the continued support of our members and sponsors.

We’d also like to acknowledge the tremendous Partnership we have with Mayor Betsy Price, The Fort Worth City Council, Fort Worth Convention & Visitor’s Bureau and Kirk Slaughter and the tremendous staff of Will Rogers Memorial Center. We are truly grateful for your unwavering and tireless support.

A special thank you to Denise Seiz and her volunteers for an amazing Mercuria World Finals and subsequent awards ceremony, where we welcomed over 1,000 guests. And if anyone missed the Futurity Champions Party, you missed a fantastic time commemorating our Futurity winners with Joe Nichols singing to 1,200 of your closest friends! It was a special celebration and our thanks go out toChristina Cox, Lica E Pinkston, Judy Venezia Franke, Megan Johnsrud, Paula Abney and all who were involved.

In closing, congratulations to all our winners throughout both shows! It is indeed a tremendous accomplishment simply to make it to Fort Worth! But to take home the buckle, is an achievement few can claim! We hope everyone made it safely back home. Can’t wait to see everyone back in Fort Worth in 2019!

Sincerely,

– Phil Rapp, NCHA President

– Lewis Wray, Interim Executive Director
