LI Pen Show 2015!

[fountainpenkid]

It's hard for me to believe, but it has been 2 years since I attended last. I really, really hope to make it this year, and hope to meet some of you there! For those who got the notification postcard in the mail, what do you think the list of vendors on the back? Does anyone have any ideas as to the size it will be? (has it grown since 2013?)

Can't wait!

Last year the room they use was remodeled. So it was brighter and easier to move around. It seemed bigger but I didn't count or compare vendors so it may have just looked bigger.

I'm going on Saturday. Anyone else going? I would love to meet some of our members.

My husband and I will be going on Saturday. Last year was our first show, and we had a lovely time. it was a good size, not overwhelming. i am so looking forward to it! I made a list of things I want to try and a few I am hoping to buy!

I hope to see you there on Sat. Earthdawn. I thank you for sharing the fun details too. I knew about some of them, but not others.

[Crazyorange]

Will there be any classes?

[earthdawn]

Will there be any classes?

Ya know that's a good question that I am not sure of.

On the site I found this link
http://www.lipenshow.com/gpage2.html

But elsewhere it says that the writing class is from 12-1 not 1-2 though both say it is just Sunday.

Susan Wirth is AWESOME and will help anyone within ear shot.

[Crazyorange]

I love Susan's table. Tons of fun.

Where do you go for lunch?

There is a food court, though many vendors were closed last year. You could eat off campus, Garden City has a lot of restaurants.
