St. Jacobs Reptile Expo - October 21st 2007
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y52/wyllomoon/expo/bannernew1.jpg
It’s that time of year again - time for the autumn St. Jacob’s Reptile Expo. The show will take place on Sunday, October 21st at the Woolwich Community Center on Parkside Drive in St. Jacobs Ontario. The time, as usual, is from 10am - 4pm with vendor set-up between 8am - 10am. For more information, please visit our website (http://www.reptileexpo.co.nr/). If you are interested in booking a table at this event please contact us at: stjacobs_reptile_expo@yahoo.ca
Please note that there has been one minor (and hopefully temporary) change to the expo rules: Pythons and boas no larger than 6.6 feet and tortoises may still be displayed at the expo but can no longer be sold.
I realize this will cause problems for vendors who specialize in these species, but for the moment there is nothing that can be done to change this new restriction in time for October. However, it has been suggested that we return to speak with Woolwich Town Council some time this year to help educate them about these animals in hopes to have the by-laws changed for good. We will not back down on this issue and will continue to fight it until we see some results that might actually benefit the reptile hobbyists of St. Jacobs and Elmira, Ontario. So, please bear with us and keep your fingers crossed for the 2008 expos!
Hope to see you there!
Updates and vendors list to follow soon...
