Final Expo List
Posted by: Tom Kirkman (Moderator)

I have made the final update to the vendor list for the 2009 Expo above. Here's the quick link: [rodbuilding.org]

At this time I do not expect any changes, deletions nor additions to the list. Everything is pretty much set for the upcoming event.

Any general idea on what the UPS store charges to pack a tube of 7" blanks?

Just so Tom won't get the heat for saying it: If folks would use them, it probably wouldn't be a question of them being there the next time!! Remember, no disrespect intended, just an observation from when Tom was first contemlating setting this years Expo up. ( past posts )

They charge you for the shipping, plus a fee to pack and ship it. Expect to pay more than you do for shipping if you carry a parcel to your local UPS office. But I can't say for certain what the actual dollar amount is.

Still, even at twice the price, if you buy much of anything you're still going to be way, way ahead on overall cost.

No matter what, it will be cheaper (and easier) than paying the excess luggage fee on an airplane

Has there been any thought to having name tags available for folks?

Maybe they were there in the past and I don't remember them.

Be nice to look over and see a name on someone going by and know that was someone I was wanting to talk to.

Bill Stevens needs no need for a name tag. He'd make a micro one anyway.

Good idea but I'm not going to worry over supplying 2000 name tags and markers for everyone. But, you can certainly supply and wear one if you like. A few did last year. In fact, I think the NERBS hosted a name tag contest and somebody actually made one from a small, operating neon or moving electronic sign.
