I really don't see any reason why we couldn't have multiple events spread across the country on the same weekend. That way it wouldn't be too far for everyone to get somewhere, and people would have a choice on where they could go. Someone could plan something on the West Coast, someone on the East Coast, and maybe 1 or 2 in the middle somewhere.

And if it's the weekend of April 20-something next year, then I'm going to Indiana!

I agree....and I've already committed to Indiana too next year, but that doesn't mean we couldn't have events all over the world :spinny:

We could also consider some timeshare resorts - I could book 3 units at about $325 ea unit (unit sleeps between 2 & 8 depending on if its a studio or 2bedroom)

I agree, was thinking the same thing. Have a Shack weekend in various places and we all just have a blast wherever we are.

Oh Ms. Margo - Did you know that there is a Rubber Stamp show and Scrapbook Expo in Ocean City this weekend? I found out by accident earlier this week. The scrapbook expo is at the OC Convention Center and the Rubber Stamp show is at the Carousel Hotel. I'm going to try to check them both out tomorrow. If it looks good, maybe we could plan a Shack get together here next May. I believe this is the 8th annual and can't believe I've never heard about it before. Definitely going to get on the mail list.

Check out this place in the NW! http://creative-outlet-retreats.blogspot.com/search/label/Rates They are all set up for crafters, and it isn't too expensive either.
