Hickory, North Carolina Self Reliance Expo September 14-15, 2012

[Prone to Knit]

Update on the Hickory, North Carolina Self Reliance Expo:

Hickory Metro Convention Center
1960 13th Avenue Drive SE
Hickory, NC 28602

Move in time is between 12PM and 6PM, Thursday September 13. We'll let Lawrence know closer to that date what time we'll be there. We plan on leaving Colorado this Sunday afternoon.  We'll need a few people if possible to set up the booth. We were able to get the walls and booth all set up in Las Vegas in two hours.

The show hours are:

Friday, September 14 - 11AM to 7PM
Saturday, September 15 - 9 AM to 7 PM

Booth tear down happens just after the expo closes - from 7:30PM to midnight. We've been able to do it in just a little over an hour.

If you can help, please PM Lawrence. He is organizing help for this event.

We will have need for 5 people to run the pellet line and also people to talk to expo attendees. You can switch out as you desire - we don't organize that. Be working on what you want to say to people because you'll say it really often.

We don't know if we'll get some stage time for our stories. The schedule is still being worked out.

If you can have a flyer or mini-insert for the trifolds outlining the dates for the shoots in the surrounding area (within a few hundred miles of Hickory) that's really advantageous. Lots of people will be asking. Texas and Nevada have put together info on 1/3 sheets of paper that are economical (front has shoots, back has list of what to bring).

If you have an Appleseed polo shirt, please wear that. If you don't have that, wear a newer Appleseed shirt (meaning any color, not faded). We will have a limited number of tan polo shirts.

If you have a period costume, that's the first choice. I'll be in mine. Melissa will be in hers.

This is a wonderful opportunity to grow your area. We look forward to meeting you. See you in about a week!
