2021 Fall Conference Cancelled

To all WCFA members,

We are very sorry to announce that once again we are having to cancel the WCFA Fall Conference this year. We tried our hardest to make it work with the new COVID-19 restrictions coming into effect, but in the end felt we couldn’t host an event where both members and public could feel safe in an enjoyable environment.

With the number of people restricted and the vaccination requirement (which is a very personal choice to have or not have – we respect both sides of that decision), it just became too limited. When we do return next year it will hopefully be in an all access, no restriction setting where we can all feel safe and enjoy the event as we have for so many years.

We want to thank all our sponsors and volunteers that again were ready to step up and make this event happen. Without them, we wouldn’t have the first class venue that we all look forward to every year.

Keep posted for information about your local WCFA chapter on upcoming events to keep your education and competition skill sharp!

Anyone who has made reservations at the Coast hotel please call to cancel.

Thank you everyone!
