Anyone going to the Expo?

Hideaway · 01-07-2008, 11:00 AM

Is anyone going to the MD or PA expos? I'm skipping MD this year. Too cold to walk between buildings. PA is a must and hopefully next year will take my stud Howdy.

I will be at the PA one.
I might work the Purina booth on the first day. Planning to go shop on the weekend.

Hideaway · 01-07-2008, 11:15 AM

Shopping is out of the question. Lilly ruined that one. It's fun to see the horses though.

Touche · 01-07-2008, 12:55 PM

I doubt I will go.

I never can seem to find the time to get away.

Touche · 01-09-2008, 06:06 PM

So when is the PA one this year?

I know I won't have any money to splurge, but maybe there will be something to entice me into going this year.

I am going to sound really dumb, but where is the expo and when is it? I nevr knew about one here.

calicocalgirl · 01-09-2008, 06:50 PM

Ok, I am now educated and I will be going to the Pa expo. It sounds like a great time . My kids would love it too.

Hideaway · 01-09-2008, 07:11 PM

It is a great time and lots of great deals on tack and shopping!

DanielleS · 01-09-2008, 08:58 PM

I'll be at the one in PA!

I love it! Great deals, and lots of fun! I prefer the PA one to the one in Timonium MD--its always muddy and gross here!

jamied99 · 01-20-2008, 03:25 PM

I am going! I will have two kids in tow with me Friday though. But my mom and sister are meeting me up there on Friday night so I can go have fun by myself on Saturday.

PaintMeCrazy · 01-20-2008, 07:03 PM

Ooohhh...

I go every year

This year I am going Thurday, Friday, and Saturday...

But is it me or is the trainer 'lineup' getting a little worse every year

It seems like this year NO ONE is going to be there... just a few of the 'big name' people but not nearly as many as last year, and not half as many as the year before!

I just wanted to see who else noticed... and WHY!?

I was just saying the same thing today. They have a bunch of days now and a bunch of people but no REAL "I have to see this person!" clinicians.
Last year it didnt seem like many people went at all on Thurs. I worked the Purina booth and it was a blah day. (so I shopped

). Went back on the weekend and it was better but not as many as in the past (at least that's what I thought)

whstables · 01-23-2008, 10:23 AM

We went to the MD one, and were quite dissapointed. Tons of western stuff, lots of colored nylon everwhere, and all the buildings were full of trailers. I did pick up a few things, but kept it way under my budget.

We're undecided yet if we'll make it up to Harrisburg.

PATrailGirl · 01-24-2008, 03:25 PM

I can't make it this year, but I can't wait til we are back in PA for good and I get to go shopping! Hopefully next year, because hubby will need a new horse, then new tack.... I went 2 years ago, but I really have to limit myself, it's just too fun!

texasbound · 02-02-2008, 10:50 PM

just came across this thread! We are in NJ & go to the PA expo's.

Last year at this PA expo I came home with a new trailer! Needless to say I highly doubt I'll be spending so much this year!

but it will still be a fun day. We're also going to the Theatre on Sat night 2/23 while there.

DanielleS · 02-05-2008, 07:48 PM

I am going on the 22nd...anyone else?

calicocalgirl · 02-06-2008, 02:10 PM

I decided I am not working this year and I think I am only going on the 22nd... One day of shopping is all I can afford!
