2004 National Reptile Breeders' Expo . . . anyone going?

I was totally bummed about not making it but there's always next year.....gonna try my best to make it to Atlanta, maybe that'll make up for missing Daytona!!

The Atlanta show is pretty big, but I don't think it will quite rival Daytona. Great timing for holiday shopping though! ;)

what is the exact date for the atlanta show (yes i am being lazy instead of just looking it up for myself :D ) oh, and i DO expect to receive presents that were bought there. :mrgreen: :wink:

Nov 20-21 this year, and for all considering coming, it may be the last Atlanta show. On the other hand, the Columbia show has been moved to Greenville, which isn't too bad a drive.

which one of those do you think will be better/bigger if there is a difference that you know of?

I so cant wait it's going to be here in Southern Cali in September *Happy Dances* This last Saturday I went to the Irba convention this one was smaller then last years but I still loved it =)

I think Greenville will probably be bigger/better, but not necessarily enough so to justify adding 2-2.5 hours to your drive time. Last year, IIRC, Atlanta had 10k-11k visitors and SC had about 14k. A show big enough to draw more than, say, 5k visitors probably has more attendance determined by timing, convenience of location, and how well it was promoted rather than by the quality or number of exhibitors, IMHO.

actually its about the same time-wise from savannah either way. i ask because i might be having a certain wedding on thanksgiving weekend, so i'm not so sure that the weekend before that is the best time to be traveling out of town. so it may be greenville for me. :D

Ah well. If you can make it to the Atlanta show, please do, because I'll definitely be there and there are a few others from here planning on attending. The more the better!

i would like to come to the atlanta show and meet up with you guys. hopefully i will know more about important dates and such this week and i can go from there. :D
