Hi there,
With Mish's permission I wanted to let anyone know that might be interested that I will be bringing some items to the show that I will be selling, but because I am showing I won't be able to do a vendor table. If you are interested in pre-ordering anything that I have let me know, or I may be able to make what you would like.
Items that I will be bring in are fleece hammocks, corner, square, and a few doubles. Pine hayboxes, ledges, and houses. May have some apple wood available too.

Including a few pictures of the items I will be bringing.

Hey gang,

I just word that hotels are booked, there's a pretty large event happening in State College this same weekend so if you haven't already, try to book your room ASAP.

In other news, just want to remind folks to make reservations for the banquet, and let me know about raffle items if you want a free ad. =)
 
Juanita, will you be home anytime to orrow, I will call you.

Mish, I will be putting a male standard up to raffle. I will be showing him. Also, some jewelry. Will get pictures out to you friday.
 
Your not "Bleeping" kidding about rooms being gone. Others are very expensive even an an hour away. So its budget cockroach Inn's or nothing.
Kicking it around if I'm coming to this one Mish. Either way I will have a raffle item for you.
 
I'll be there and as for a raffle item I'll give ya'all choice... Either I can pick up a bag of feed to donate (people out that way feed Manna Pro Gro right?) or I can donate Black Velvet (the liquid kind)...lol! If ya'all choose the latter I guess you can just card the winner...

Put me down for the banquet too...please!!!!

Yes Christiane. I should be home. Give me a call.
 
I have never been to this show and really want to come but the lack of reasonable hotel rooms is a bit of an issue. There is a campground about 10 minutes away so could camp if Bob is home to drive the rv - I found it odd that all of the cabins at area campgrounds are booked in April in addition to the hotels. What is going on there that weekend Mish?
 
Sure glad my hubbie and I are planning on attending in our RV in the parking lot. Since it has a generator and other 'creature' comforts we, my dog and my chins will be comfortable.
