howardb Report post Posted February 18, 2014 I will try to get a vendor list up soon. it varies widely year to year. In the past we have had representation from Tandy, Tippmann, Ron's Tools, Bob Beard, Roz (the Dragon Lady) and others. This year I know Roz will be there, Toledo Industrial Sewing, and a leather supplier (I want to confirm which one before I spill it). Tandy has not confirmed but has expressed interest, and the Fort Wayne store manager is coming to teach the beginners class if nothing else. She could bring things with her if someone needed supplies. I'm not sure why I can no longer create paragraphs, that is annoying. Download and open the "Leather by the Lake" PDF file and it has the registration forms, class listing, etc. Jeff Swanson will be teaching two half day braiding classes, and Roz will be teaching her tips and tricks class, and a small vase class. We also have the beginners class for the kids OR ADULTS who haven't tooled before. We always have a fun raffle on Sunday prior to closing the show. Raffle items include tools, supplies, finished goods, and even a few fun household items. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Click on the little box in the top left corner of tho box (in the blue area) and you will be able to create paragraphs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
