The Dog-Gone-Good chapter of NABA was founded by former president, Mark Brooks from Frankenmuth. He worked at the old brewery. They brewed "Dog Gone Good" beer, hence the name. Through their first 12 years they have had summer buy - sell - trade shows at Heritage Park in Frankenmuth. Dan McShane of Bay City, became president in 2001 and moved their summer show to Bay City. This is their 17th annual show.
