Tinley 2013?

[aahmn]

I'm planning on going to Tinley this year, but haven't decided whether to do spring or fall. I'd prefer to go when I know there would be nice bloods, so who here will be at Tinley?

I'm HOPING to go to Tinley in March, but it'll depend on how I'm doing by then as I'm having surgery in a couple of weeks. But whether I go in March or not, I'm DEFINITELY going in October! We had SO much fun last year!! Picked up a couple of new critters, made some new friends, met some long-term online friends in person, ate loads of good food, and crashed the auction Saturday night. What could be better?!?

I've heard through the grapevine that the fall show tends to be bigger. But I've never been there in March so I can't say for sure....

I'm saving all my change (plus whatever else we can stash away) for the show in October.

Can't wait

Ill be there in march hopefully!!!

I will be there in March and October. Even though the winter show has less vendors, it is still a great time!! Totally worth it.

If you are looking at bloods try Blood Mafia. Not sure if they will be at the march show though. They are from Oklahoma. I have a nice little borneo from them

The October show is definitely the bigger of the two but I enjoy the March show as well. There are less people and it's easier to get to chat with people. There are also some nice deals where breeders are trying to move the last of their previous years babies. I'll be going to both this year and looking to talk enchi with some of the breeders. Hopefully I'll be ready to pick one up by October.

I'll also be bringing a friend of mine with 2 of her kids who love my snakes. Think they'll enjoy getting to see all the animals. They wanted to come to the one last October but with the crowds, I figured it would be best to wait for this one.

I'm hoping I can buy a large rack at the show. My thinking is if I can pick it up at the show, the shipping cost saved will pay for my gas.

Oh is Animal Plastics a vendor?

Oh is Animal Plastics a vendor?

I know they have been in the past but some of the bigger supply guys wait til the fall show to come. Best bet would be to call Animal Plastics and find out.

I'm hoping they will be there in Oct. to justify the cost of going up.
