beckemmons Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Aztec is having their candle making convention July 25th and 26th. Anyone going? I plan too even though the hubby is yelling it's a waste of money. He just doesn't get it! LOL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I am hoping to get the time off to go. I have never been to a convention and I think I owe it to my craft/business to avail myself of more information. So I hope I see you there.And tell your husband it's either the convention or a trip to Las Vegas! HAAnd going to the convention might be a tax write off for you.

Vicky_CO Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I would dearly love to go but I do not see it in the cards right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 If it wouldn't cost almost $1000 for the flight and hotel for me, I'd think about it since the convention itself is only $30 or $40... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Oh man. Well considering I'm going to be bankrupt because of doctors, I'll have to wait this one out. I would love to go, but ... won't have the cash this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckemmons Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 I am lucky enough that Knoxville is only a 8 hr drive for me. So I will drive there and rent a room at the hotel they are offering a discount through. Tried to get the hubby to go with me but he won't 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzphee Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I think I may be in attendance also.. Lol I'm in Illinois so it's about 8-9 hr drive for me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Maybe we should ask for a Craftserver table up front. If we get a firm 8 or so I will ask Terri/Sheila for a reserved table.Downtown Knoxville, Market Square area, is lovely and very pedestrian. It would be a great place to have dinner Saturday night.

Candybee Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Sounds like fun. I'm only 6 hour drive from Knoxville. But with the cost of gas, hotel room for 2 nights, convention fee, food, and misc., it comes close to $450 - $500 for me. If I had that I can buy some supplies I need. I'm not real keen on the guest vendors. Wish they had some more interesting ones coming out. But I would love to attend the CP & HP class.

beckemmons Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 I am really looking forward too it and I think a craftserver table is a great idea OG! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amanda Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I'll be there! It's an 8 hour drive for me too, but we're going to visit some Knoxville family while we're down there, so two birds, one stone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puma52 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 .So did anyone here go to the 2013 convention? What did you think? Informative? Fun? Lots of great folks there? Comfortable? Answer all your questions thoroughly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luanne Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 If airfare wasn't almost $500 from NJ, I would be there in a heartbeat. I would love to go. Luanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckemmons Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 I went in 2013 also. I had a ok time. But it would of been a great time if not for the circumstances that were surrounding my friend that was with me. Hoping this year is better!

Jcandleattic Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 If they have this next year, I will probably go. As it turns out I have a friend from TN coming here that weekend this year, so wouldn't have been able to make it anyway. Next year when I go to her place, I'll drag her along to the convention with me. LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
