Is there a fee for setting up a vendor table, last year there wasn't. If anyone wants to preorder wood, houses, ledges please pm me.

Can't wait to see everyone, seems like it has been forever.
 
Can't wait, this show is super close to me - 2.5 hours - which makes it a really nice one for me to attend. And I'll have animals to show! :)
 
I attended this show last year and I'm hoping to be able to make it again! I'm a pet owner, but it was so fun to see a live show and I got to talk to some great people. It's close enough for me to drive down for the day!
 
correction to the original post - Classification is at May 3rd - 10AM sharp not April 20th
Barbara and Ralph Shoots found the error - funny
 
Will anyone be coming to this show from the Tennessee area (or traveling through Tennessee) that could railroad some chins possibly? :)
 
I just found out that my nephew's first communion is the day of this show. Sadly I won't be able to come down for the day. I'm bummed because I had so much fun last year, but family comes first!
 
I plan to donate a two hole carrier, the same as I did last year :) if someone can make me up an ad, let me preview it? Who do I need to notify?
 
Only about a month till the show now, is everyone prepping? Can't wait to see you all there. Wish I had made it to nationals.
 
I am SO ready for this show. First time I will be showing in a while. My babies look good fur-wise, wish they were a bit bigger, but they're all young mutes so I'll cut them some slack.
 
I heard that Ritterspach and Ryersons are not coming this year. Are any of the large breeders coming? Sounds like this show could be any body's ball game. Sure hope the local breeders dust their bunnies and come.
