Hi, Just a reminder this Weekend is the Louisville Event! A little bird said we have a wonderful turnout so far, and we can still squeeze in some more if you want to attend. Hope to see you there.

[Sarah Adams, CPF]

Can't wait for the weekend seminar in Louisville!
"South" for us and we are up to 79 degrees today--will it be summer there?

[Jim Miller, MCPF, GCF]

Gail and I will be there for the whole weekend.

We are looking forward to several exciting features of this show, including the plant tour. Also, we will have a tabletop display to introduce our new product: Glass Shadowboxes. We'll have special introductory discounts and four lucky framers will win one in a drawing.

See you in Lousiville, y'all!

[Robin Gentry, MCPF]

Sarah it is extremely warm and humid here for March. Should not have this weather until May or June, Oh well it may snow then

Jim I am very interested in your shadowboxes! I can't wait to see them in person.

[Jim Miller, MCPF, GCF]

Greetings from Louisville, y'all. This is shaping up to be a great weekend. I heard that more than 70 framers have registered. The meeting rooms have been in grooming all evening, so we'll be ready for the cavorting crowd tomorrow, after the Designer Moulding plant tour.

Jim, I feel really bad to be missing this event. It is right in my backyard, but family events trump PPFA events occasionally. I hope you'll post some updates through the weekend. A picture or 2 would be nice, too.

[Jim Miller, MCPF, GCF]

We had a group photo tonight, and a few framers were taking pictures throughout the day, so I'm sure they'll be posted here ASAP. There will be more goings-on tomorrow, and a few more framers are coming in. For example, Jim Cook (Gumby) from northern Ohio will be here in the morning. Good times.

4 chapters in one place? wow! That sounds like a small trade show
