Kim L Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I have not attended this gathering in the past, but I'm interested in going this year. I see their website has not been updated with any info for 2008. Can anyone tell me if this group is still planning a gathering and, if so, when the website will be updated. I had planned on going to a gathering in TN but I see it has been postponed. I went to Bittercreeks last year (had a great time) but it's a 14 hour drive and I absolutely hate to fly so I'm trying to find something a little closer. TIA.

Scented Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Can't help you, but it would be nice to have updates, links on any of the gatherings. There aren't any that close to here, so it's an opportunity to travel and learn. Did that in Texas last year, but their soapmaking conference, which is in Austin, has not dates listed either.

mystical_angel1219 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Is this the same group that Geena runs?I've been to this conference. They had some issues getting it off the ground last year. Usually held in Canton, Ohio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asheebeans Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 The Ohio Soapers Gathering is a go! I believe it is April 26th, but if you want to know for sure you can join their Yahoo Group. Last year was my first year and I can't wait to go again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abbiepql Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 The Ohio's Soapers Gathering is not the same as the Midwestern Chandlers Gathering which is the one Gina started - is held in Canton, OH. I don't know if they have a date for the Midwesterns - I used to do their website. I'm working on one with some other ladies, scheduled in July for PA, it's closer. I listed what details I had in the business section in a post not too long ago. I really enjoy going to the gatherings/conventions - even if you are a seasoned crafter, you almost always walk away inspired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbiepql Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I was just looking at the maps and the Pittsburgh location is really not that far from OHIO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunFlames Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 this might be a dumb question but..... Can anyone attend the event in strongsville?? I am not a soaper yet, but would love to get into it in a few months. I think it would be valuable to see what is available before getting started.

asheebeans Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Yes, you can go and be inspired! LOL Tentatively they have some great soaping demos in the works this year so I would suggest attending. It's alot of fun, you get to meet great ladies & gents and learn something too! :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunFlames Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Ok, I have been to the site but can not find any info on registering. I did send an e-mail to Kim a few minutes ago. Hopefully I will hear from her quickly. I would think you would have to give them specific info for the registration and not just mail a check.If anyone has more specific info to share that would be great!Thanks Danielle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
