American Aberdeen National Meeting
The American Aberdeen National Meeting will be held at the Embassy Suites Hotel at 7pm on Sunday January 10, 2027. We encourage you to come and meet the Board of Directors.
Junior Auction
As NWSS approaches, it leads to a lot of excitement for Aberdeen exhibitors across the country. Once again the junior board of directors is having an auction at the American Aberdeen Association Banquet for fundraising. This year’s auction will include a selection of items that will suit any buyer. The board will be hard at work preparing for this auction so that they can offer you a great selection of items. They hope to see you in Denver. The auction will be held at the Embassy Suites hotel during the American Aberdeen Association banquet.
