Some financial tips you might think about if planning on attending a convention: 1. Make it your vacation, if in area you're interested in. 2. Get a table or two and sell off excess inventory - we all have that. 3. Go in a camper or RV 4. If spouse isn't going, room share and ride share. Save on room and gas 5. If you're with a club, sometimes conventions or meets will pay for gas and registration or ?? if you help bring a display layout. 6. I always start a change collection in a big jug after each convention and save until the next. This year was $60, last year over a $100. 7. Can you stay with family or friends in the convention area? 8. Money from non-S articles could be stashed away for convention.
Sure, I know work (doggone it), family, health issues and summer vacations get in the way, but maybe some of the above might help out. The more S folks I see personally at the conventions or meets, the happier I am just to "meet and greet." Jeff Madden
