Reservations have been made!!

April 14,15,16,17 2011.


This is the weekend BEFORE Easter.

It's awfully early, but we have to send a deposit within the next 5 weeks. (Update--deposit has been made as of June 2010)PM me for more information if you are interested in sending a $40 deposit at this time!

Deposits should be refundable if you cannot attend....but I most likely cannot send you a refund until AFTER the event.

We have 3 double rooms reserved (2 double beds each) and also 4 Hoosier Queen rooms (2 queen beds each). The rate for the Double Rooms is $86 per night. The Hoosier Queen rooms are $99 per night. These rates do NOT include tax.

The cost of our conference room is $300 plus tax for the entire weekend, and there are some incidentals like snacks and drinks. I take a $40 deposit from each person to cover the cost of the room. Depending on how many people attend, you may get a refund on this deposit, or we may each owe more (not likely). I make refunds at the event, in cash, for the difference.

Shackapalooza Spring is being held at the Potawatami Inn (http://www.in.gov/dnr/parklake/inns/potawatomi/)located in Angola, IN at Pokagon State Park. It is a lovely Inn, with a beautiful setting, and we always have a great time. We are very informal. Participants will be able to bring your stamping supplies and just stamp! There is some shopping within an hour of the Inn (Archivers, Michaels, Joanns, a little independent stamp store whose name I don't recall, and also some outlet shops.) There is usually a "shopping day" and anyone who wants to go can tag along. Some people just stay back at the Inn and stamp.

Please PM me if you are interested in sending a deposit for the conference room. Thanks!!

I have already received deposits from several of you. I have received deposits from:

Sherri T
Chelsea
Kathy P
Kimmy K
me
Kim S
Angie R E

:-)

In addition to sending ME a deposit for the conference room, a deposit MUST be made on your room at the Inn before February 2011. One one deposit needs to be made per room (not one per person if you are sharing a room), and this must be done by calling the Inn directly at 877-768-2928. Ask for Group Reservations and tell them you need to put a deposit down for The Stamp Shack event in April. We have multiple events booked right now, so it's very important that you confirm the correct dates with them.

Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks!

Traci--with the turn of recent events, I'm in. I'll send you $40 today. I will also call the inn to book a room. Can't wait. It also looks good for November. What do you need from me for November?

If it makes you feel any better, our anniversary is April 15. Not a milestone though, just 44 years.
