Blondie Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I'm a member of the Omaha-Council Bluffs Miniature Guild. We will be having a show and sale April 4-5, 2014. I'll post more information as it becomes available. If you'd like to be a vendor, please PM me, and I'll put you in contact with the right person!

ajere Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 This sounds great. I hope I can attend next year. I would love to possibly join after the first of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheckMouse Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Blondie, I hadn't noticed you were over in that neck of the woods! We are still considering moving to NE, though now it's postponed till Spring or Summer. How far are you from Norfolk NE? Maybe I can make it to the Omaha event!

rackey Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I have a friend Barbara whose birthday is April 4. I have been to all 50 states, and two of my friends hope to match my record. Nebraska is one state Barbara has yet to visit, so it would be nice if I can convince her to spend her birthday in Omaha. Her nephew lives in Kansas, and we like road trips, so hey, that is always a possibility. I would love to visit Nebraska again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheckMouse Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 CJ, Omaha is around 100 miles from Norfolk. Yes, I know. I was just wondering how far you are from Norfolk. Once we're moved over there we might be able to get together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajere Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I am about 160 miles from Norfolk. I live about 5 miles south of I-80, so very easy to get here. I don't know where in Iowa Blondie is located, but it sure would be fun to have a get together!! Once you get moved I would LOVE to get together. I am actually located about 5 miles south of I-80, so easy to get to, and easy to find! Or we could meet somewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondie Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 It is with a VERY heavy heart that I must announce the cancellation of the Omaha Show & Sale. We were not able to get enough vendors, so we had to cancel it. Perhaps one day we will have a show in Omaha again, but not this year. If you're in the Midwest, I highly recommend attending the Quad Cities Show. Here is the information for that: http://metrominimakers.homestead.com/Show.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Blondie, sorry to hear of the cancellation. What a disappointment for you and the others in your group. Thank you for posting the information about the Branson and Davenport shows. I've penciled in both on my calendar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondie Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Thank you for your kind words. Mini shows are so hard to put on these days with the Internet and all. I'm at least relieved my guild ladies can save themselves from all that hard work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheckMouse Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Sorry it had to cancel. I had hoped I might be able to get there, but that won't happen this year anyway. Maybe by next year it will be up and running and I can attend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Blondie -- have the group look at different dates. Trying to hold a show the week before the Bishop and 3 Blind Mice Chicago shows is tough for any vendor. That is why I would not be able to attend. Cincinnati is trying to hold one the same weekend. There will be hundreds of vendors at Bishop and 3BM and the booth cost is more than most other shows. Between the cost, the projected attendance and the commitment required you would be hard pressed to get vendors. I think you might be successful with a different date. I would even be willing to commit as long as it isn't in September or October (Indy, Louisville, St. Louis all have shows then). Promoting can be tough, just know that the big Chicago show is always the same week in April and has classes and such all week long. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondie Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Yes, the timing was bad, but we don't have a large population of miniaturists in the area anyway. Thank you for the suggestions though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
