I received an email today with this link to the exhibitor list. Make your plans now! I'm thinking of spending a night or two up there this year. Just too much to see in one day.

Who else is planning to go?!

    I missed Saturday last year because i had to run karaoke. I think i will get a substitute for that Saturday. Friday was nice because it wasn't as crowded last year.

    I'll be there all three days this year. Plan to enjoy the evening live entertainment, take in a little bit every day, have a chance to go back and spend extra time on things that stuck out to me and otherwise generally immerse myself in the experience. Look forward to meeting up with all the CP folks there, as well!

    Bump for just a few days away!

    Hoping for lots of photos, like how I was posting one in real time of every room I went into back in 2019 with Joe and Dave. B)

    I should be up there by +/- noon on Friday. Needing to connect with @ALL212 to do some business that day, but looking forward to connecting with other Polkies Saturday and/or Sunday!

    @pitdogg2 helped us all get together last year since he's got a lot of folks' digits. Hoping he can make it happen again this year!

    Safe travels to all who are coming!
