Contributing Member ClayB Posted March 13, 2007 Contributing Member Report Posted March 13, 2007 Another show open to anyone that wants to enter, guild member or not, is the World Leather Debut held in conjuction with the Rocky Mountain Leather Trade Show (Sheridan, WY). This show costs more to enter than the IFoLG show, $25 per entry vs. $2 per entry (pretty sure that is right). The World Leather Debut also pays fairly substantial cash prizes for best in each of 13 catagories. Runner ups and honorable mentions get ribbons and certificates. If you enter this show you have to be prepared to go up against the likes of Peter Main, Jim Jackson, Jan Schoonover just to name a few. There are no divisions like beginner, advanced and masters like the IFoLG. If you go to view the entries, you will see some really amazing stuff!!

cjbleather Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 Johanna, The Midwest Federation is still going strong. Mostly through the efforts of the Praire States Leather Guild. Central Indiana and Midwest agreed a few years ago to alternate their particular shows. Primarily, because they both had a show, usually at end of March or in April. So, rather then continually fighting for attendence, they wisely agreed to alternate each year. This year must be Central Indiana's turn. Next year, Midwest will put on the show. Carl Quote
Members Brigid's Forge Posted March 16, 2007 Members Report Posted March 16, 2007 We would be interested in a guild in the Southeast, and would try to attend meetings, although the closer to north Mississippi the more frequently we would show.
