I just returned from attending the Mid Atlantic Turners Expo in Manassas, VA and can say, despite a number of surprises, it was a good weekend! Michael Hardin of Stadium Pen Blanks and a number of his associates work hard each year to put together the show which is highly focused on pen makers. Sadly, the current mess with funding for TSA agents impacted the show, as two scheduled main presenters - Jim Hinze and Elyse Longazelle - couldn't make it due to flight cancellations, but Michael worked hard to bring/entice other presenters and attendees to fill the gaps quite effectively. There were some excellent vendors for supplies, blanks, and other items there, so needless to say, I came home with way less cash than I left with...lol! It's always fun to see old friends, and meet new ones in the turning community and the show didn't disappoint!
Glad I was able to attend once again!
