It looks like that we may Not be able to make the Olive Branch Convention after all. Hope that everyone that is going has a good time.  Randall

We are going. There was some confusion when the hotel broke their contract.  But shapes up to be a fantastic event.

The SRTC is shaping up and looks like it will be a good show, considering the hotel would not honer their contract.  We have a number of supplier signed up to attend.  Listed below are the suppliers that have signed up so far.  If you are going to purchase from them you may want to give them a call and pre order.  This is a great opportunity to save on high shipping rates.
