NOVA expo?

[blueberrypancakes]

I took the 18th off work to go to the Northern Virginia Reptile Expo. It's in Manassas, which is a three hour drive for me. Has anyone been to this one? What might I expect? Never been to an expo...

Fairly small show...Doubt it's worth a 6 hour drive!

It's a small show but they have some good vendors there with some cool stuff. Personally I try to go whenever I can but for me it's only a 30 minute drive. Are you looking to pick anything in particular up?

[blueberrypancakes]

No. My husband and I just wanted something to do for the day together. The drive isn't really a big deal, I'll be happy to be with hubby! I haven't seen any other reptile expos around here, and I've been looking online. To babyknees: since you're semi-in-my-area, do you know of any others around Richmond-ish? I am in Newport News.

There is the Richmond expo: http://www.mdreptilefarm.com/shows/va/richmond.asp I've never been to it but I hope to go at some point. Check Reptile magazine's website...I think they have a listing of expos by state.

Im gonna vend that show. Its a really small show now. It used to be alot better like 8 years ago but its gotten real small. I wouldnt drive 6 hours for it. Way to small for that drive. Richmond is kinda small too. But there are some good vendors at nova.

Kingsnake.com has a list of shows. Just click on events. Hey jon are you getting any tables at nova?

Yea i havent vended for a while but i got a bunch of stuff to sell plus some racks so i want to try and sell em local since the racks are too heavy to ship. I like goin to nova just to see some people.

Ok, everyone says it's a "small show". What does that mean? Would anyone be able to give me an estimate on the number of vendors?
I would still be willing to drive for six hours to see some morphs in person. I don't see a whole lot in Newport News. What are the chances that one would see a BEL and a piebald there?
