I'm going to the reptile show on Sunday but can't make the saturday talks. Would love to go though.

Mark,

Maybe we can meet to chat. Do you happen to know which vendors are going to be there?

Regards.

Cool.......we can't get there on Saturday either, but we're really looking forward to going on Sunday! It'd be really neat to be able to put some faces with names of folks on here!

We will have to meet. I know that Garrick from crestedgecko.com said he is going to be there. I know a local breeder that will be there and sharing a table with a few others. Other than that I'm not sure. There are some I would expect to be there like Marc Bailey, Boaphile, Jodi Ahrens, Twin City Reptiles, but that is just speculation on my part.

We will be going on Sunday as well. Can't wait to see everything!! I hope everybody has a safe trip! Watch out for the traffic I heard Vikings and Packers have a noon game next weekend!

I hope to see you all here.A list of breeders that will be here.

As you can see i have no table,I am out 100%.I will be all over the show stop me a say hello.

As mentioned above, I'll be there. I'll have around 100 different species of tarantulas, 10 or so species of scorpion, and a few centipedes. I've never been to a Midwest Herp Symposium (nor have I been to Minnesota), but I'm looking forward to it.

Just dress warm! Our temps have dropped some and it's getting nippy out there. I'm looking forward to meeting some of you....hopefully, the booth I'm at will be the furthest from the arachnids.

Seriously now, how would I recognize people? I'll be the one with dark beard (some gray hairs!). Looking forward to meet some of you.

Regards.
