Seems like all of a sudden we have shows stacked up in a big way! Never thought of Feb/March as big show months? Guess I didn’t think??
This weekend is the new Charlotte NC show. I will not be set up but have a few friends that will be. Stu will be set up with a few dry goods (stats, hides, heat tape, etc) so you can stop by and see what he has for animals and pickup odds and ends if you will be there this weekend. Kind of curious how this show works out. I am not a huge fan of the Repticon crowd for a few reasons, one of them is the disaster show in NJ I was dumb enough to attend, and I know a couple of them are not too happy with me but I wish them success with this new show. Can only be good for the hobby and it would be a good thing to see a stronger show in NC again. Raleigh has come back quite a bit but never has really recovered. Hopefully this one is it?
Next weekend is Columbus/Cleveland for me. Not officially a vendor but am going up there with a few rack deliveries, pickup some rodents for this season and check out Neil Golli’s new setup. I will have some hides, stats and other smaller odds and ends with me. Might want to shoot me an email if you know you need something, be happy to bring it and save you some shipping. Pretty well full as far as racks/cages already though. Might have room for one or two things so it can’t hurt to ask.
Weekend after that is the Hamburg PA show. Frank and Mark (Limey) will both be set up with some dry goods there and this is generally regarded as the biggest Hamburg show of the year. Worth checking out! Once again, already about filled up on racks and cages but email with any dry goods needs and we will see what we can do!
Then Tampa. Told you this is getting busy! I am going down with the truck/trailer for that one. Will have the full load. Reserve specific rack/cage needs now if you want them guaranteed. I will have about everything I normally go to a show with-misting, radiant panels, stats, dosing needles, scales………………..I look forward to Fl. in March. Not stupid hot yet but probably nicer than here.
Remember, the best way to ensure you get what you need is to email ahead. Seems like every show someone misses out on something they needed because I didn’t have room for it or it sold out before they could get to me!
That same weekend it looks like Frank will be in Havre De Grace and Mark (Limey- he really like to be called that!) will be on LI for the show there. Then we hit the busy season??
