| It's reptile show season and I have to say this forum is pretty darn lazy!
Check out this show not too far away, happening in April! The 16th and 17th!
http://www.westalabamareptileexpo.com/
WARE - West Alabama Reptile Expo, in
Watermark Place Event Center 4500 Katie's Way, Bessemer Al.
which is approximately 4 1/2 hours from Maryville, TN. Now quit being lazy, y'all, and let's try to work some carpooling out. I know a few names who are going, and it should certainly be much larger than the Dixieland show. (I have on good authority that they can somewhat be called rival shows!)
Plus, here is the coupon pdf file for a dollar off the entry fee, which is $6.00 with children under 5 years old getting in free.
Check out some of the vendors, like Royal Reptilia (rhac geckos, tree frogs, ball pythons, 'n' more!) and McGhee Reptiles (gargs and cresteds and awesome jewelry), who will be attending. My friend Limey of Royal Reptilia is going to make this a great show.
And if all else fails, it'll be a great time to spend the day together as a group and support local breeders. The more people who attend, the better these shows get.

| It's actually not terribly far from home. I'll have to check my calendar and see if I can swing this one. | |

| I just went to Rob and Gina's tonight and I think they are very interested in the WARE show. They are wanting to carpool so if anyone else wants to save on gas money, please call them! Remember that you can only contact them thru Gina's cell phone number right now. | |

Aww! We do have room for two more people, but it'd be tight! We wouldn't have space for Makalya, though! | |

| So how many of you guys are going for sure? We're toying with the idea of the van isn't acting up. | |
