Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

New Pennsylvania Super Shows!
Three new great shows coming here to Pennsylvania and I'm excited!  Finally one of the the Hamburg show promoters decided to ditch the dark, filthy, crowded Hamburg Fieldhouse! No more waiting outside in crappy weather...No more crowded aisles...No more vendors up each other's butts...No more fighting for parking (or paying parking tickets!)...No more bathrooms that you have to hike up your jeans and stand to pee in (yeah, yeah...guys already stand to pee!)...Now we have bright, beautiful, clean convention centers with plenty of room! Whooo!
Site's still the same... NorthernBerksReptileShow.com...Don't know if Marty plans on changing it, but all the info is right there for vendors and show-goers alike!
Lancaster, PA - Lancaster County Convention Center - July 31, 2010
- September 25, 2010
Oaks, PA - Greater Philadelphia Expo Center - April 17, 2010
- August 28, 2010
Reading, PA - Greater Reading Expo Center - January 16, 2010
- March 20, 2010
- November 20, 2010
So, what does everyone else think? I'm excited, if you can't tell (Hah!). I hope this goes well and meets all of my expectations.

I have been going to the Hamburg show since at least 1997 and it has turned into an overcrowded fire hazard waiting to happen. These last few times I was almost irate at the waiting in line and the overall sense of claustrophobia while all the noobs and impulse buyers swarmed around. The addition of these new venues is much welcomed and I look forward to attending.

I completely agree!
I can't wait. I'll finally get to vend!
I was only able to fit in 1 Hamburg show in 2009.
The other Hamburg show has been so fully booked that I couldn't possibly get in as a vendor.

It's a 30 minute decrease in drive time for me, so that's another plus in my book!

I to welcome the change in venue. It has been long overdue, for both vendors and buyers alike. The conditions over the years have become way to crowded, and unsafe. Not only as a fire hazard, but for vendors and buyers where the venomous section is easily accessible and reachable to small children in a crowded environment.
I look forward to this new venue and all it has to offer.

I dont even care about the difference in drive time, it will be worth it. I mean look at it like this, All current Hamburg vendors + new vendors (on waiting list that couldnt get in before) + new venue = Killer Show.
Hamburg has been one of the only constant consistent growing shows in the tri-state area, and this new venue will only enable it to continue to grow (without ever outgrowing this venue) and give it the capabilities of possibly becoming the areas first true super-show.

Hi everyone. Yes, the venue change is long overdue. How nice will it be to not have to worry about your car being ticketed and/or towed? (My car was almost towed at the last show!) How nice will it be to not have to push your way thorough crowded aisles against sweaty people just to get in and/or to another table? How nice will it be to have AIR CONDITIONING?!?!?!?!? How nice will it be to have a CLEAN place to visit and buy reptiles? I can tell you how nice it will be... but I'd rather hear it from all of you!
