As you all know, we had to cancel the 2020 MPG due to the pandemic. We waited this year as long as we could to see if we could do a live in-person event for 2021. If you follow us on social media, you know earlier this month we announced that we could not do a live event. We don't believe Illinois will be open by that point and more importantly, we have the utmost respect for our friends for this event. So, we are going to do the next best thing, but a really cool thing. This year's 2021 event will be completely online.

Check Out This Video

It's not a simple Zoom call, it is a full-blown virtual symposium. We are going to have multiple rooms running at the same time, virtual vendors, and virtual social gatherings both nights. The event will take place April 24 and 25, 2021 and will only be $35.

For registration, here is the link -

It's getting her quick! Im looking forward to seeing everyone's demos! It always leads to more on my bucket list. 😊

There's never anything good on TV later at night when I'm sitting working on blanks. This will give me plenty to rewatch... at least for the following 30 days. After that, it's back to channel surfing. ☹️
