You're going to be BUSY

Looking at what I signed up for, I just realized every class is one of the PPFA classes.
Sunday will be very busy, starting with Crepes at 7:00 am, and reacquainting myself with some exceptional framers.
Followed by Understanding Framing Components, the PPFA Keynote and PPFA Annual Meeting, Framing for Fido (I'm a softy for dogs, so I had to do this one), the PPFA welcome reception, then some drinks with some framers in Napoleon's around 7:00.
Monday is the PPFA chapter breakfast, the PPFA leadership conference, then Stump the Experts, followed by some more drinking with some fellow framers from Colorado, in Napoleon's. I will also try to hit the floor, and I may end up stopping by the PPFA booth, and maybe sign up for another class.
Tuesday is Mounting textiles, the PPFA booth, and of course the Chinese dinner, and maybe a Tsingsau. I will also try to hit the floor some.
In the past I had always left on Wednesday, which meant that I missed some great classes. This time I decided to come back on Thursday, so I could take some classes on Wednesday. I'm glad I made this decision. I will be taking Adding a French Touch, and Gilded accents.
There is also a bowling group for Saturday night,that really sounds great, that I might be able to get to. I don't bowl (or I haven't for about 45 years), but I could socialize. It depends on how I'm feeling. Generally us oldsters need to get to bed early.
It should be a great week!

About 1/2 PPFA and 1/2 WCAF classes because I live for hands on classes every year.
Lots of running from place to place. I hope I left room for the trade show! ( I did but it is so hard to have enough time for everything)
Also working in the PPFA booth and the Lyon Techmark booth!
ONE WEEK!

EAT???? I thought that was grabbing some crackers between classes and appointments :laughing:
Looking forward to seeing many friends, framers at the show this year! Arriving early to set-up classes on Saturday.
Bringing Sarah with me on this trip... she hasn't been to the PPFA show in about 8 years so this will give you all a chance to see the lady who really runs our business.
Happy New Year and travel safe.

Cathy, there is a WCAF Expo app that will fill in all of your classes,personal dates, etc. It also lists all exhibitors, and with one click, you can add it to a list, along with notes. It also has floor plans, so if you want to find where say the PPFA booth is, just click and it shows you.
It is easier than doing a spread sheet.
