howardb Report post Posted November 21, 2009 2010 Midwest spring leather show will again be hosted by the Calumet Area Leathercrafters. This is an OPEN show, so you do not have to be a guild or IFOLG member to attend. We do use the IFOLG judging categories, so it's not just willy-nilly! Mailed entries will be accepted, but we would prefer YOU to attend! The Merrillville Tandy store will also be hosting a class by Bob Beard either just before, or just after our show. I will also post details of that when it is finalized. I will post more details in the coming months including a registration packet. date: April 23rd thru 25th, 2010 Location: Michigan City, Indiana Hotel: Clarion Hotel Michigan City http://www.clarionhotel.com/hotel-michigan_city-indiana-IN323 This is actually the same hotel as before, but Clarion bought it from Holiday Inn. Hope to see you there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

howardb Report post Posted January 28, 2010 Vendors? Could there possibly be anyone who wants to be a vendor that we haven't contacted? If so, PM me and I will get a vendor contract out to you! Brent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johanna Report post Posted January 28, 2010 Sorry I can't be a vendor yet, Brent, but I'll be there with my camera, and glad to lend a hand where I can. The Spring Shows have become a nice tradition. They are smaller shows than the IFoLG, but similarly styled. Plenty of friends and lots to talk about, too. I've been lucky that they have all been fairly "local" for me. If you've never been to the sand dunes in Michigan City, make sure you check them out while you are there. Awesome! Johanna Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
