This time of year! Search tips for Success✅

This time of year! Search tips for Success✅

This time of year, it's tempting to search by "2026 only" in our member's pro search.  Since we only have one listing per event, that is not ideal!  Event updates roll in 'year-round' - sometimes 3-6 months before the event dates. Searching by 'all years' with your selected month(s) will reveal updated and non-updated annual events!  We ask for event updates monthly and some promoters update far in advanced and others do not; we get to the updates eventually on all events! It's literally never ending, and we appreciate your patience. 😄 Relying on 'last years' event data (website, emails, approximate deadline...) is generally very helpful too.

We're optimistic about 2022

We've navigated almost two years of Covid and as of today we feel optimistic about moving forward with events. The vaccine and boosters are widely available. We know that properly wearing masks (K-N95s and N-95s are currently the suggested versions for best protection), hand washing/hand sanitizer and giving each other space helps to keep the virus from spreading. Most importantly we know to stay home if we're feeling sick. We can "live with the virus" if we work together to protect each other. We've missed the energy of the shows, seeing our old friends and meeting new ones! Looking forward to getting together safely and to a very happy, healthy and successful 2022! 

Sincerely,


Dana and Troy Hale-Mounier, Directors
