    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....

Tinley anyone?

I am still wanting to go *never been to a show* but family stuff is getting in the way..

pfffft.. birthdays.. *rolls eyes* like that could compare .
 
Wouldn't miss it! Although I am not vending, I do have high hopes for next year!
 
I'll be attending. I can't wait to see what everyone brings and to meet up with my former fellow midwesterners. :)

Ooooo, Kari. This will be our first time vending there, too! We'll have to meet up on Friday night at the meet and greet!
 
I think this is my favorite show of the season. Things are not quite so crazy as Daytona, but we usually do quite well at Tinley, and there is more time to visit friends and customers. And the vendors and customers are very high quality. A very high percentage of attendees are actual herpers, not just out for a Sunday drive. Nobody should miss this show if it possible to attend!
 
Count down to Tinely- NARBC

Are you ready?

Set up begins at noonish on Friday, open to vendors and vips The ever popular Friday evening Ice Breaker sponsored by Reptiles Mag. Hosted by the lovely and talented Sandy Quinn. Open Bar and Free Ceasar Chicken Salad and Pizza unil 9pm.

Plan on attending the PIJAC auction on Saturday evening !! Your sides will ache from laughing !

See everyone VERY soon.

Hi Sheri,

Looking forward to seeing you this weekend!

I have to say I really like your idea of the VIP tickets being for the whole setup and early mornings, instead of just one hour that requires vendors to open early on Sat. (the busiest set up time for many vendors). It is better for the VIP attendees and better for the vendors. At $50 each, only serious buyers are likely to buy the VIP tickets.

I also really like your idea of abbreviated hours on Sun. Most shows are only busy in the early or mid-afternoon on Sundays, if they are busy at all. I don't think the shorter hours will affect sales, but will make long drives on Sun. night easier for those who have to make them. Hope some of the other show promoters follow your example - y'all are really on top of things. Besides, your shows are just fun, lol!

See you soon!
 
This year I will not be vending the show I will be there Sunday though. I have a few things I have to pick up here and there. And BS with some old friends lol.

We'll definitely have to meet up Friday night! We'll look for you. It will be nice to talk to another "first time vendor." See you in a few days.
 
I'm still trying to make up my mind.

Regards.
