The PacNW regional CLAP meeting scheduled for May 2nd is physically postponed. More details are going out via email. If your email is not in our list, please PM me if you are interested in our annual decorating gathering and the potential alternate plans, or re-schedule dates.

The 2020 Pacific NW annual CLAP meeting is all set for May 1st & 2nd, in Olympia, WA. This event is all about education and sharing ideas with like minded decorators. We have a great group in the PNW, and we have grown a lot in the 16 years we have been meeting. We will be once again meeting at the Foley Firehouse! By far, one of the best venues for a mini in the country. The car/fire engine barn will again be on display for the attendees. Whether a newbie, or seasoned veteran, everyone will walk away with something. An idea, new friend, or something from one of our many sponsor vendors! W

Thanks Chuck!

The 2019 Pacific NW annual CLAP meeting is all set for May 3rd & 4th, in Olympia, WA. This event is all about education and sharing ideas with like minded decorators. We have a great group in the PNW, and we have grown a lot in the 14 years we have been meeting. We will be once again meeting at the Foley Firehouse! By far, one of the best venues for a mini in the world. The car/fire engine barn alone would be worth paying admission for, but this still a FREE event to attend!

Nick, I had not come across the Hamberger, nor the RKI info before. Those are very cool, and I think it is great that there are folks like you who still want to incorporate those types of elements into a display. There are still some out there, Greg Young, Charles Enos are the 2 I know personally. I am part of the Christmas Expo effort for the training syllabus, we attempt to include these types of classes about historic elements, animatronics etc.... Its important to keep those methods and ideas alive. Gemmy, and some other vendors in the past have made animatronic characters fo

I like the streamlined/combined version of PC. However, where did the Vendors section go to? I realize that may have been a difficult item to keep current.... but I used it, and have historic presentation material that had links to it.... Also, it was mentioned in another thread, the links to the Planet Christmas Magazines need to come back.... My dos centavos....

I'm from Seattle and going! Does that count? You should go, it would be a lot of fun....

Nick, welcome to PC, and the insanity of doing a display. Can you be a bit more specific when you say animated figures. Are you asking about multi-channel wireframes, coroplast characters, animatronic figures? Give us a bit more info....

Slankard, if at all possible, you should go. I guarantee you will have a great time. While the classes et al are fabulous, its all about meeting decorators, and vendors face to face. The lobby apre hours is more fun than opening a UPS box of lights!

The link you supplied above, leads me right back to this thread?

Hi Randi, THIS is a timely response.... How did this effort go? We have our local gang that I can post info to as well. I have not been hanging out in the forums much lately, no time. I hope all is well. Why you selling?

Thanks Chuck!

Wow, just learnt something right there.... Thanks.
