    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hudson Valley Reptile Expo Poughkeepsie NY

The vendor list is up on the site now. There are a few other vendors that aren't on the list yet that I've heard are going to be at the show as well. Should be a really good show.
 
I'm looking forward to checking it out....if it looks promising, I'll grab a table for the September show. It would certainly be a convenient option.
 
Nope - for two reasons:
The last attempt at a Poughkeepsie show was a disaster, I'm not taking the time off work and dragging myself out of an extended show hiatus without checking it out.
and
Realistically, I don't have enough animals available to make a decent showing for myself (I could put together a table without too much difficulty - between animals, supplies, educational/informational materials - but I'd rather wait until I have a decent selection of babies to bring.
 
Fair enough. From what I got about the previous show in the area they weren't promoted at all, and weren't at a good location either. This is is being promoted a lot there are radio ads, newspaper ads, and live mentions on radio shows as well. The venue is really nice as well. All in all should be a good show.
 
I'm hoping it IS a good show. (pretty sure this is where the last one was - the last one that I knew of, at least).
The civic center is a great spot, and it's less than two hours from home. It would be a show I was willing to do semiregularly, if it does well.
 
One week till the show. Hope to see everyone there. Stop by and say hi I'll be with Azo Reptiles/Sunshine Dragons/Simple Animal Tracker.
