While I would LOVE to do this I really can't commit to anything right now with
the Baby and all. I suppose there is a chance I could do something but don't
plan around me. Most of my efforts at the moment are focused on the Train show
on Dec 2nd and 3rd.
Actually that brings up a good point. Even if I can't make it you are welcome
to use whatever tables we can complete by then. Again my time commitment is
hazy but I am going to try and do a couple this weekend.
Otherwise even if I can't make it you are welcome to use the Church and Inn if
someone can pick them up and drop them back off again.
