Hamburg is a great show.I am glad to see the reptile world is not being affected by the economy.We are seeing the same thing in the south with our shows.I am proud to see the public coming out in force at the shows.Thanks to all that support the shows,you are a big part in making it happen.Terry

economy

they weren't buying that much...some stuff always sells...food,bedding etc, cages sold well for Paul at PMHerps....as did the aspen....gone!......they were buying the cheaper stuff mostly...but they always do there....stealing as always, they smelled the same....most made money...BUT one guy asked me ? WHY do any of us have ANYTHING left on the tables?....with that many people...we could have all sold out....and should have...

they had their tax money in Feb,.....it gets like that alot ....

the line.....it was around the fence till maybe 2 o'clock......3800 people in the door......and maybe room in the building for 402...LOL......it was crazy ....but it gets that way alot.......at least it wasn't 100 degrees in there......yet Lori and Brian STILL ate a sno-cone?....hmmm....

......that show almost always fills up......they need to expand the building by three fold....wonder if the city of Hamburg will do it?.....aaah.....just for us......

......see you all in 2 months....?

yes it was nuts! i parked 3-4 blocks away on a municipal lot in town. then i got to wait in line for nearly an hour and you couldn't move once you got inside. it was nice to see such aheavy turnout considering the economy.

I thought the show was good. I'm from Jersey and in Jersey and New York the expos suck, no big snakes, no hots, no gators. I got to the parking lot around 12... I drove around for at least a half and hour for parking. The cars on the street went down for like half a mile... And they all were ticketed!!! After I found parking I waited on line for 45 mins. There was only a very little sign warning about the parking. I think they should have made an announcement about the ticketing. After I paid I asked the little old lady how many was on the clicker and she said 2900 and the line was still going out to the street! It was alittle crowded lol. My brother and I wound up purchasing albino balls at pretty good prices. Can wait until the next one, I'll be there alot earlier!

This is my new addition!!!

....nice......

......I sold a few of those......

I parked 5 rows out right in front of door.....used to get second row......LOL......used to be the third car there...not now....

.......the street signs are not as well placed as they should be............
