I always have a hard time wanting to pay the money without knowing what's inside. I tend to avoid the Home and Ag Shows too - although I'm sure they're fine. Everyone I've spoken to about them, seem to think they're good value.<br /><br />Of course I'd be where the poultry sheds are, LOL. :)<br /><br />Did you see any livestock at all, or was it just plants and other products?<br /><br />By the way, I'm planning to go to the GA expo one year - just to say I've been and see what they're up to. :)Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/13715819899708384147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26903703.post-31508609963591833622009-09-02T19:15:22.090+10:002009-09-02T19:15:22.090+10:00thanks for the link Toria, i found them last year,...thanks for the link Toria, i found them last year, i was just hoping to to purchase without postage feesNicole and Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07463146316953697505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26903703.post-14699872090141191462009-09-02T15:37:21.883+10:002009-09-02T15:37:21.883+10:00What a pity you didn't find what you wanted, w...What a pity you didn't find what you wanted, we went on the Sunday and really enjoyed it, though the admission is definitely pricey. <br />There were a lot of stalls there that were different from last year, but as usual some rubbish too. <br />Darren- the admission doesn't just allow you to shop, there is a program of speakers and workshops on all the time too. Some decent and some just not my thing, but I do think there was something for everyone across the 3 days. Also a chance to have a chat with the presenters, I just wish Peter Cundall was still there!mountainwildlifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05697065701317854063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26903703.post-26987751379203845032009-09-02T09:25:50.399+10:002009-09-02T09:25:50.399+10:00I don't get why these sorts of expos charge yo...I don't get why these sorts of expos charge you an entry fee just so that you can come in and buy stuff from the exhibitors. Surely it should be enough to just charge the exhibitors?<br /><br />It's like a shopping center charging for entry. Who'd pay that?!Darren (Green Change)http://www.green-change.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26903703.post-20416669957370347462009-09-02T06:37:49.825+10:002009-09-02T06:37:49.825+10:00I'm sorry that you didn't have a great tim...I'm sorry that you didn't have a great time there. I haven't been to one of those shows in years, but I know how disappointing it is to spend time & money at a place & not get what you want. A show that had the stuff you were after would be a great show to go to.<br /><br />If this helps, I found an ad for this company in Grass Roots <a href="http://www.redbacktrading.com.au/" rel="nofollow">Red Back Trading Company </a>. Their ad said they sell the Mason preserving jars cheaper than other similar products available in Australia. I'm thinking of buying some jars & books from them before summer gets here.Toriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01091419616292144494noreply@blogger.com
