I'll try to make it out there. Not really excited to drive in the more than likely crap weather, but I'll try at least.

Just a little bump and a reminder - the show is coming up quickly! And we even have John taking off WORK to come check us out :-)

We are still accepting vendors, and have about 150 tables available. It is a totally non-venomous show, so keep that in mind.

You can email me directly at info@centralpareptileexpo.com or contact me here for more info!

Can't wait to see you guys there!

Wow, I'd love to try and make it out there for that! I'm trying to make it out for Hamburg someday (it's a bit of a drive for us but those are the biggest shows anywhere close to NH). It looks like you've got some great vendors there though and some that I've bought from in the past so I would love to go the show! Just have to figure out if my old Army buddies are still around PA so I could stay with them lol.

We would love to have you out!! Check with Alicia Holmes, she is saying she might come down as well, but I am not sure yet. The show is about an hour and a half south of Hamburg, but well worth the drive! And if you need a cheap place to stay, let me know and I'll hook you up with a list of hotels.

About how far is the show from Allenstown? I've got some friends out there that I havn't seen in a while who I know have an extra couch lol. I'll definitely give Alicia a PM and see if she's going. I keep saying I'll drive down to check out her collection and that would be the perfect excuse lol.

The show is just under 2 hours south of A-town, so it's not that bad. And I thought Alicia was up your way (in Maine) in the NE part of the planet?? She said something in chat the other night about trying to drag a few of you funny-accented New Englanders down this way :-)

I'm pretty sure she's down in MA which is not far at all from where I live (NH). I'm pretty sure that I'd be able to get a group from here to go also. I've got a couple of friends who are pretty big into herps so we'll see what happens!

Alan (and the rest),

I will contact the Expo Center and get a list of hotels that will give discounts. If I can get a block of rooms laid out anywhere, I will let you guys know so that you can all stay and party together! I only live 15 mins away from the show, so I don't have to do the hotel thing (thank god!).

Just wanted to bump this up since I saw a bunch of you are planning on attending the White Plains show in January. Ours is the day before, so make a weekend out of it!!
And I am still waiting on the list of hotels from the Expo Center, I have not forgotten!!

I was FINALLY told about the list of hotels - there is one posted on the website for the expo center (www.carlisleexpocenter.com).

So, what I want to know is...WHO'S COMING???

Well it's looking like my brother, my girlfriend and possibly a couple of my herping buddies and I will be coming down for White Plains and the Central PA expo! Can't wait! I think we'll be couch surfing with a few of my Army buddies in PA.

Not really looking for anything crazy just possibly a Cinny BP and maybe a couple of colubrids. So who else is coming?

The show is just one month away! Come on down (or up, or over) and spend that Christmas money you got, or wait for the tax return money and spend that! We have some great vendors, and are picking up more all the time, so it is going to be a great show! And because the White Plains show is the next day, it gives the PERFECT excuse to make it an entire weekend of reptile shows and fun!
SO, like Anen said, WHO'S COMING????

Are all the vendors that are currently signed up on your website or are there more that haven't made it up there yet?

KordeksKritters
01-02-2009, 03:26 PM
I have a few more vendors that have not paid or sent me their forms yet that are not listed. I would keep an eye out on the vendor list in the next few weeks, as I got hit HARD with vendors 2 weeks before the October show. It seems to be a trend for me LOL.
We have almost half of the 150 tables rented now with the vendors you do see, though, so it is shaping up to be a good show!

Larry, we will have to arrange a broadcast from the show one day to be on at night! That would be fun!

Kelly's show (Sat 24th) and White Plains(Sun 25th)..unless I got dates mixed up some where???

Nope, you got it right. We are the day before White Plains, which just makes it a perfect excuse to make a full weekend out of shows. The shows are about 4 hours apart, so it's not a bad drive either.
Hope to see you guys there!
