Here we go again! It's countdown to "Homespun Holidays". By tomorrow night, the trailer will be loaded and we will begin our final hours until set up. The school is ready to be transformed once again into a winter wonderland of Christmas cheer. Our dealers have been busy creating goodies to accent the antiques they have been collecting to bring to the show for months now. I'm on vacation as of tonight, not having an entire week off now since the last show in March. We had a couple long weekends, but that's been it for seven  months. I look forward to sleeping in every morning for the next couple weeks, but who am I kidding, I'll be up at the crack of dawn whether I have to go to work or not. I guess that's my built in clock. I've been getting up early for so many years, my eyes open up automatically even when I don't want them to. These days with the time change, it's still dark out when I get up, but I'm still ready for my first cup of coffee. Tomorrow morning, I will be completing the floor plans, Yes I'm still rearranging the new dealers booths. I'll review my check list again and probably add a few more items to worry about.  Good news! We purchased a new (used) PA sound system to broadcast the music during the show and a microphone to project our voices when calling out the numbers during the drawings, so everyone can hear the numbers, even outside of the gym/cafateria. Don't forget tobring your mailing card for our special Breckenridge Bucks drawing at noon the day of the show. This is a special drawing for only those who bring their card send to their home. We will also have a special  door prize to give away to some lucky patron. If you aren't on our mailing list, don't forget to sign up at the show or on our contact page online. If you are not on our mailing list, you can still sign up online and get in on the drawing. Just print off your request before you submit it and bring it with you for the drawing. There is alot to do before Friday and more to do during set up. You are in for a treat. The dealers are telling me that they are anxious to show off their collections and creations. We have many of our regular dealers once again, some newcomers and some first timers from the Promise of Spring show returning again.  The count down is on and we are excited! See you at the show.
