that's a no

Well, at least I have a definite answer now. I will not be showing at the engraving show in Reno in January. I am not eligible to exhibit as a member (since I am not a firearms engraver) and I am not able to apply as a commercial exhibitor for the 2009 show. However, I had to scoop up my jaw and eyeballs off the floor after seeing the commercial exhibitor booth fee, so needless to say I would not be interested in applying to that category anyway. Hmpf. This is most disappointing. I will still attend as a visitor for a day or two, as there are people there I need to meet. Heck, with all the money I'll save on booth fees and lodging maybe I ought to go see the Safari Club show while I'm in town....
