Hi, I just wanted to let everyone know about this expo. I'm going to be at it selling art and fake rock sculptures, so stop by! It should be a lot of fun and supposedly people from Fl, NC, SC, TN, and VA will be there. I hope I get to meet some fellow beardie lovers! If you have questions you can ask the people above or send me a PM.

I'm very excited! Hope to see you there!!!!!!!!!

I plan to go to this one! I'm only about an hour from Hickory...otherwise I have to drive 2-1/2 hrs to the ReptiCon in Columbia or 4 hrs to the one in Raleigh. Glad to have one close to home! And just in time for me to replenish my frozen mouse supply, lol.

Where are you located? Or, in proper NC dialect, "Wher you frum?"

correction
proper NC / Southern dialect would be
"wher ya frum"

Additional correction for the NC mountain dialect: "wher 'bouts y'all frum"

Lol, I'm afraid I'm not quite fluent in proper NC dialect...

I'm in Hickory, though.

Well, we're practically neighbors, then. I'm in Rutherford Co near Forest City/Rutherfordton.

I'll be sure to look for you and say hello! BTW, are you M or F? Sometimes hard to tell by just a user name. Will your booth have a name or logo I can recognize? I'm F, and I'll be accompanied by 2 cherubic children and 1 disgruntled hubby, lol.

 

[Hellstrom]

How cool! I'm a F. I'm supposedly the only art vendor that's going to be there. My name is Leighanna and I'll also be accompanied by a disgruntled husband. He's offered to stay with me at the table all day, but he doesn't like birds or the beautiful sounds they make, so I'm not sure how long he'll last, lol.

Haha, my hubby is phobic of reptiles, but he has attended an expo before and seemed to enjoy it, as long as you don't try to get him to hold a snake, or worse, talk him into bringing home a snake like we did last time, lol. I've promised this trip is only for feeders... (I think we've all said that at some point and ended up bringing home a new addition )

I won't be there until after 1 because my orchestra starts rehearsals for the season on the same day, but I'll be sure to say hello!
