Has anyone on here attended a Arts and Crafts conference at the Grove Park Inn in Ashville, NC. ??? I am going to attend the one in Feb. 2006 and it will be my 1st. What can I expect ?
What is your past experience at the conference ?
How are the seminars ? PLEASE provide as much info as possible. Thanks.

I'm surprised nobody has responded to this. I understand they have hundreds of attendees every year. I've never been but have surfed much of the information about it. It looks like a great event to say the least. I have to admit however, that it looks like a "high end" event if you know what I mean. I suppose this gives it status as a very excluisive gathering, which is fine because the Grove Park can only accomodate so many people, but alas us poor commoners will just have to look on with envy

Hello Glenn & Stonecat:
I would be interested also in the conference. Do you know how to contact for more information?

Are there A&C vendors there with their products?
I would like to talk to others who have also shown their work at such conferences.

I would think it would be really alot of fun to meet others of like mindedness.

I have seen pictures and received forms for attending the conference at Grove Park Inn. It is filled with lectures by the most prominent speakers and researchers and the sales booths by dealers are filled with the best there is to offer. My wife will attend when our youngest graduates and we can save the money for the trip and accomodations.
