NRBE: What gets done before the doors are open
By Cindy Steinle · August 20, 2010 5:29 pm
Sometimes it's a wild ride, and sometimes it's pretty laid-back, but one thing setting up for the National Reptile Breeders Expo always is: a chance to connect with friends and colleagues.
I caught up with Robyn from Ship Your Reptiles/Pro Exotics setting up his huge booth pretty much alone. Spent some time chatting with Kathy Love about women in reptiles, PETA, HSUS and what we as a community really need to do to get ahead. Met one of the the members of my favorite forum, Randy Whittington -- it's always great to put a name to a face.
I also had the pleasure of seeing and chatting with Jeff Clark and his amazing mustache.
I snuck out early before the nasty storm we got hit with. Now I'm off to the talks to hear about Morelia and turtles. Will have the video camera along as well as the audio recorder.
Will check in soon... photos below the bump...Kathy Love
