Lumina Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I am going. This is my first time so looking forward to it. Was able to use my Husbands points for a free hotel room, so that helped. I live about 6 hrs away so it is a drive, but think it will be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilyspoppy Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Did I read correctly that it will be considered "sold out" when 50 seats are booked? I had a party at my house one Christmas Eve that had more folks than that present.I must have read something wrong. My wife is interested in going. I'm in a wheelchair and may have to pass on it, but neither of us will be going if the attendance is so small.I understand this will be the 7th year of the event. Has anyone on the board who has attended, able to shed any additional light on it for us.TIADave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I'd like to add that Aztec in Knoxville is also having a gathering April 26-28. I think there is plenty of seating available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been quite worth it to me to make the trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovelyLathers Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 Scented are you going this year, I want to hear you sing (heard you put on a great show!! Emilyspoppy, this is a regional gathering not a national one. It is a small one but tons of info and lots to learn, meet peers, internet friends, goodie bags and vendors. I have not attended one but have heard from the people who do attend this one and I am so excited to be going this year. Small groups are better any day than big fancy 500.00 ones.

We live about 2 1/2 hours from Winchester, VA. Our daughter lives in Martinsburg, WV. The events about half way if she travels on I-83.Hope you all have a great time.Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately I don't have to take you up on that as I just got a nice soap order. But I am grateful you offered and glad there are people like you around that do things like that. So I am thinking about going. I have been wanting to go to this in the past so I think I may do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Okay I've gone through that entire site and there are no activies, speakers, sponsors, demos, etc. listed. Nothing. Nada. No way do I want to fork over any money for something thats no even planned yet. Really?!! How can there be an early registration fee and no activities?! Sorry, I don't get it.

Buttercup Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I am waiting to see who the speakers are and what demos are planed before i decide to go. We try to go to a different gathering every year and we are only 4 hours away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are on facebook, look for the Lights & Lather Artisans. She took down her website part because of spammers and hackers last I knew.

Scented Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) Scented are you going this year.I have to wait to see where my inventory is before I decide. I would love to go, don't get me wrong. I've enjoyed it the last three years and would hate to miss it this time. If I can get through my last six cases of wax, there's a good chance, but then getting through the six cases I have left will leave me struggling to be ready for fall lol. We're really behind in the production end of the business and trying to catch up, though that seems impossible right now, it might not later.

LovelyLathers Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 Scented I hope you can make it, I understand about the production part. Yes the FB page is keeping everyone up to date! I see that they announced Kelly Bloom will be there talking about preservatives and something else, lol, a senior moment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I read all the posts and looked through the other stuff and still didn't find much info on activities. There was more info about who signed up because some who did posted about it. But there is very little info about activies and what I did find was only in posts so it was very confusing and really unhelpful. A full program should be posted somewhere. I just find it irratating that there is an early registration fee followed by a late fee and still no viable program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
