Thanks for the info! Is it usually a good show?

Hi,

If you guys have anymore questions on the show, feel free to ask Jennifer@softflexcompany.com . I've been Soft Flex's trade show manager for about 3 months now. We (Crystal Myths) have participated in both of the previous Sonoma shows. Last year traffic was a little down, I think mostly because we had to change the venue. This will be the 3rd year of the show, and the 2nd year in it's current location.

Only about 8 spots are still available in the show. You can get more info on the show at: http://www.softflexcompany.com/FestivalCA_Main.htm

Bead Unique is sponsoring a variety of classes during the show as well. You can find more info on the classes (lampworking and non-lampworking) at www.beaduniqueu.com

I went last year and my only complaint was that the isles were to narrow and the show was over crowded. Meaning you were ALWAYS in someones way. The isles were like a huge traffic jam.

I'd love to go, but it's the same weekend as the Flameoff in Eugene. :sad:

Are you going to be there????

[blackcatbeads]

me? Nope not this year. I moved from Sacramento in April to Arizona, so it is a little far for me to travel.

[judi]

[Beyond the Bead]

Sorry to report our plans have changed and I won't be able to afford to go to Sonoma this year! :(

There are these little issues of unemployment and the mortgage!!! :-#

[judi]

[wildfirelauri]
