National Goat Expo - anyone wanna meet up?

Hey goatie folks, I was chatting with J Bar G (Our names our too similiar lol) earlier and wondering if any HT goat people going to the National Goat Expo in October (7th-11th) would want to meet up? Maybe a few of us can meet at least.

Glad Alice posted the link. I thought you were talking about the one over in Neosho - which would be a trek, but not as big a trek as Des Moines.

Oh, well. But since it looks like many of the Ozark crowd may be heading out to see/smell bucks, we may be able to make time to get over to that one.

We are about 6.5 hrs away. We will probably be there Sunday because we only took Monday off and both have to work Tuesday - Thursday then.

Aaaaargh! I can't make either! Dd19 says I will be a "no show at the buck show in Neosho". She scares me. ROFLOL!

Wish we could make at least one, I would love to see you all! I got to meet Gena and some of her wonderful family earlier this month, I would have liked to have seen them again.

Have fun!

I could do that! I would LOVE to meet up with you all! Let me know details like where you are staying and what days you will be there!
It's a 4 hour drive for me. I could get there Sun and stay until Tues. I would be coming alone so I would need someone to hang out with. I promise I am not annoying

I would Love to go but too much going on right now, maybe next year! I wouldn't be showing but would Love to watch the shows. I have someone I could ride with but that's too many days for dh to leave alone with all the chores & milking.

We are talking off-list about a Sunday evening get-together. I'm going to need it after all this tax stuff..."Calgon, take me away!"

Minelson, was going to PM you back, but here is fine. The Packers, who's that? We sport Cowboys attire here. I AM NOT A CHEESEHEAD FREAK!! lol

Just cuz of our work schedules and it being a bit over 6 hrs, we'll be there early Sunday morning (like by 8 hopefully) and need to leave Monday by noon. I'm open to whatever. I've got two does to bring home with me. and looking for another
