Mid South Scrappers March Newsletter!

Hello Scrappers and welcome to March! I’m looking forward to more sunny days and a little warmer temperatures which will lighten up the utility bill and I know we can all benefit from that, at least for now. I’ve got lots of news to cover but will try to keep it short.

The March Pajama Crop Party Weekend’s registration is now closed. There are 33 croppers that will be attending. Since some have paid for the places of two people, 45 out of 64 spaces have been filled. We have croppers coming from as far as Kentucky, Vicksburg, MS and Little Rock, AR to this event! What a turnout! There will be an email for the weekender’s sent out shortly that should cover all the information that you’ll need to know for our much anticipated weekend of croppin’, food, prizes and fun!

If you missed the opportunity to come to the March Weekend you’ll want to be sure to mark your calendar for our next one! Our Scrapper’s Summer Camp will be held the weekend of July 23rd – 25th at The Cottages at Kirkwood (Kirkwood National Golf Course) in Holly Springs, MS. Detailed information for that will go up on the website shortly and registration will begin on Friday, April 9th. However, the March PJ Crop attendees will have first dibs on their places. There will be a limit on the “bed/table to yourself” option as there was for the March Weekend. The biggest reason for this is so that we solicit great vendors. The number of croppers is a factor in their decision making with regard to them packing up and traveling to us. Also, a payment plan will be offered again and spaces will fill in order of receipt.

The April 17th “All Day and Into the Night Crop” has filled at a record rate! There are three spaces out of 30 left for that event! The new location, Holiday Inn located at Hacks Cross and Nonconnah (385) in Memphis, TN, is definitely a plus for our group. The overnight rate of $64.99/flat rate per room (plus taxes) is an awesome rate for those that would like to stay overnight. It also provides an excellent opportunity for our Little Rock, AR, Jackson, MS, Jackson, TN and Kentucky friends to make the trip adding about $20 each (based on a party of four) to the event fee. At this time, Creative Memories is the only vendor for the event.

Potential Vendors … If you rep for one of the home based paper crafting companies and would be interested in vending at any of the Mid South Scrappers events, please send me an email and we can go from there. My email address is: terry@midsouthscrappers.com

Thanks so much for your interest and participation in our events!
