Good News Friends! I talked with Joel (event organizer for the PDX Expo I believe) and he said that we would be able to use the “Upper Terrace” just outside the Expo area in the Hotel the morning of the Expo.
Here is a link to a map of the Hotel (bottom of page)

The Expo is held in the “Dogwood, Cottonwood, Redwood and Candlewood” Rooms. We will be meeting on the Upper Terrace” just outside the Expo. Joel mentioned letting us pay our entry fee ahead of time. Adults $7 Kids 6-12 $3. There is a show coupon you can print off at the bottom of the Show web page.

We decided to have our get together in the morning before the show because a few of our members are vendors and after the show it would be unwise to keep unsold or newley purchased animals in cars for any length of time during the heat of the day. I know it’s early but I plan on being there at 8am. The doors are opened to go into the expo at 10am and there is usually a line of people waiting to get in before that, so 8am gives us a few hours to chat before the show.
I know everyone is on a tight budget but since it will be early and we aren’t meeting at a restaurant I thought it would be nice if everyone could bring a breakfasty type item to share. I plan to bring muffins from Costco, but other ideas might include fruit salad, granola bars, pastries, juices etc. Please message me and let me now what you plan to bring so we don’t have ppl bringing the same things. I am very excited to meet everyone and to have a great time at the show.
