The bash may be over, but the parties continue. First a shout out to our inspiration MPG. This year they got off to a slow start, but I'm sure it will be as great as ever. We are not trying to compete with them, just offer a similar venue a little closer to some others. If you're close enough, please support them by going.
Yesterday the team had our Penultimate planning meeting. We are all getting excited and appreciate all those who took time to preregister. The demonstrations are in place with backups for emergencies, our vendors are stocking up with goodies; the generous vendors on the site who can't be there are supplying some pretty nice contest and door prizes. Goodie bags are being filled so every one goes home with something.
Contest rules will be out soon so sharpen your skews! Or just bring some pens for our instant gallery. We like to ooh and ahh.
Patty Sole will be at the Exotics table with her paintbrush for anyone who wants a custom painted tube. Bring pictures of pets, families, or whatever and she will paint on the spot. If you want a particular pen style, bring tubes or get them right at Woodcraft. You can bring your tube home to cast, or have them cast by others. She will also take special orders.
We're also trying to have a Pizza Party Saturday evening. Location TBD. Will have announcement at the gathering or before.
Be on the lookout for more!!
And please preregister at our website (see below) if you get a chance. It helps us get a handle on how many are coming. The fire marshal says we can fit 341 in the building
Lastly meet the team: Some are more active than others here but they are all a pleasure to work with.
