That is GREAT NEWS !!!
I have been 4 times and I am ready to go again ! Where else in the world can I meet such fantastic people that share the same interests and enjoy the same things that I do ???, nowhere. I am planning on bringing 2 new builders with me in 2012. this will be their first trip.
I will also help raise that 30% to 40 % like I do every year. And if my wife needs to know that, I will tell her myself !

I know most everyone has been wondering why I didn't announce the event as early as I usually do - April/May, but it was a hard decision and I was leaving the door open for someone, anyone else to step in and do something. It was a tough decision but now that it's confirmed we'll move forward like we always do and have another great event.

Even though we sold out of booth space 2 months prior to last's year event date, there are already rumors starting that I had to give away free booth spaces in order to fill up the event. Of course, this is just more mis-information from the usual crowd. If there were any vendors who received free booth space at last year's event, please speak up. We'd all like to know who received these supposedly free spaces. I know I sure would.
