I don't know..

Last year my hubby and I drove about 4 hrs--one way-- to there, spent about 30 mins to see the show then drove another 4 hrs to come back. It was nice but too little to see . I hope more companies will come this year, Laube, Les Pooches and shampoo companies and please set the date for Sunday, Monday so I can go on my dayoffs.

I hope that they do it in a different place so that the can demo real dogs and have more vendors

So glad to hear they are coming back. Barkleigh always puts on good show. But remember, this is YOUR show. You have got to support it by spending money and attending the seminars in order for these shows to continue and grow. They are EXTREMELY expensive to put on and difficult to get hotels that are large enough AND that allow dogs.

I do know that the vendors were very happy with the turn-out and spending power of the attendees last year...and were already asking about returning the following year. Good word-of-mouth will bring in additional vendors for this year.

If you want to see your favorite vendor, why not call them and tell them. Also, call Sally at Barkleigh and let her know who you would like to see and support. It's all up to you!

And do take time to see the speakers...you will learn soooo much! Remember, it's not JUST shopping, it's an entire educational weekend! Go and learn!

JJk,
You need to take the weekend.. take some of the seminars I did 4 and learned so much. Like dogma said It's our show. They will probably have more vendors and I have a sneaky suspicion since the dates are not final that they may be looking for a different site.

I've signed up for more info. when it's available and am VERY excited about attending. We should all be sure to meet up...

Thanks dogma and Nancy, I email Geib shears already. Geib said they didn't know yet, but they will see. I am going to email les pooches too. :CUTE:B

I wish I could go!

I wish that I could go, but I'm afraid that won't happen this time. I can't wait to hear from you guys after the show! Details, plenty of details.
