Well the next show coming up is going to be Canada’s Largest Reptile Show and Sale. This show is put on by Mice & Things and is held at the Westerner Park, 4847A, 19th St, T4R- 2N7, in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada in the Northern Hemisphere on the planet Earth.
August 27 and 28, 2005.Now I hope no one will ask me where the show is this year and I will not get a GPS location either.

There is unlimited space and tables for the show. Tables are $30 ea and are non-refundable; tables are 8’, which have to be pre-paid. There is an online application at www.reptileshowandsale.com if that will not work for you email Bonnie at bonnie@miceandthings.ca

The doors open on Friday around 6pm to set up and set up goes till 11-12pm; set up for Saturday morning will start around 7am. Doors open at 10am-5pm on Saturday for the general public and 9am for VIP passes. Sunday the doors open at 10am-5pm. There is also going to be a concession in the show as well for both days.

We advertise on 4 local radio stations in Red Deer, I also do the morning shows on all 4 as well to help promote the show; this all takes place the week of the show. This year we will be doing a live on location on Saturday and Sunday with a follow in Friday after noon leading up to the show. There is also going to be a ¾ or full page add, not sure yet, taken out in the paper that goes to over 240,000 homes the week of the show.

Last year there were over 110 tables booked and 3500 people that went threw the doors that weekend. We will also offer the bank machine again that is located right in the show area. Last year it put out just over 20k in the weekend and it will not run out either.

If anyone is wondering about the Red Deer show that has never been there before just ask around, it is still the talk of all shows. Here is a current vendor list and we are sitting around the 60 tables booked now. If you want to be added to the list you have to let us know.

Well this year we will be having the BBQ for the vendors after the show. It will be at the same location as it always has, Rotary Park. Rotary Park is the largest park in Red Deer and was all redone last year. So you can bring the kids and let them go and play on the huge activity center. I will give directions in how to get there after the show. It will start Saturday around 6:30-7:00 pm. The BBQ is free, and there will be burgers, salads and other foods as well.

100 tables booked!!!!

There is still lots of room and time left to book tables. Ads are starting to run in the newspapers on Wed and they go to over 200,000 homes a week. We have also got a little advertising spot with Red Deer tourism that will start on Aug 22 to the 28. It is right along Hwy 2 north and south as you come into Red Deer. They are going to advertise the show on the "Welcome to Red Deer" signs. So only 50,000+ people will see this a day maybe more.
There was just a story in the paper about a month ago how over 35,000 cars go threw Red Deer from 7am to 10am every day. So this is going to be a big help for the show as well.
On another note I talked with Neil Meister this evening and he is going to see if he can pull it off and attend the show as well. This will be the first show Neil has attended in Western Canada.
This is turning out to be one of the best list of vendors ever! Man I can't wait for the show now. No sleep till Sept for me, lol
