Here's some info on the spring show from Brent Howard, President of the CALG.
"TOOLERS OF THE COWIBBEAN"
Mark your calendars! April 23rd through the 25th is the annual Midwest spring leather show. This year it's back with the Calumet Area Leathercrafters, and will be held at the Clarion in Michigan City, IN. This is the same hotel that used to be the Holiday Inn at the 2008 show. Same place, new owners.
I will put up a show flyer soon, registration information, etc.
Competition will be open to all, but we will follow the IFOLG classes & guidelines for the most part. Guild membership is not required for any aspect of this show! Bring leather friends who aren't in guilds! Bring the neighbors! Bring the whole block!
We have asked Bob Beard to come as a vendor, and the Tandy store in Merrillville, IN (not too far away) is also trying to schedule Bob to do a class in the days before the show. I got verbal commitments from Tippman Industrial and Leather Wrangler's (Paul Zelesak) and I'm not even on the committee! I'm hoping Jim Linnell can come teach the beginners class.
Leather pirates, Bob Beard, Paul Zelesak, Jim Linnell, competition... It just doesn't get any better than this! [Gee, now that I've dropped his name a few times, I hope he can still come!] Now if that's not a reason to come we don't know what is!!
