<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's ALL About the Bubbles!!!</span></h2>
<br />
Yes it's that time again to start thinking about the annual Ohio Soapers conference, because WE have been!!! Lynne, Robin and I have been working for the past year to make this gathering one to be remembered! Many things will have changed. Remember, change is good. That is how we grow and learn. The conference will be held April 16, 2016 from 9-4:30. <br />
<br />
<br />
The theme of the conference is 'It's ALL About the Bubbles'! You will see that theme used all day. So keep it in mind when thinking about the bar soap swap and EVEN what you will wear! There will be prizes and games all day! We have AMAZING speakers lined up. The food is already ordered and promises to be delicious. We have ordered audio/visual equipment to insure everyone can hear and see. THIS year, we are excited to announce that there will be a separate drawing for a GRAND PRIZE! And everyone can earn extra ticket just by 'joining' the Facebook page, Ohio Soapers 2016 Conference. AND we offer occasional extra ways to earn tickets! But don't worry, if you don't want to join FB, everyone will get a ticket with registration. <br />
<br />
So plan your trip to Springfield, Ohio, April 16, to the beautiful campus of Clark State Community College. There are a number of CLOSE hotels, it is just off I70, and there is plenty of parking!<br />
<br />
Registration begins soon, so watch for that announcement! Questions or concerns? email us at OhioSoapers@email.com <br />

<br />
I am offering to be the pick up person for anyone wanting to place an
order at Wholesale Supplies Plus for delivery to the Gathering. I have
been in touch with Debbie May and we have coordinated the following:<br />
(Important note: your deadline for ordering is: <span style="font-weight: bold;">WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23RD</span>.) This gives them time to process and pull our orders.<br />
<br />
1. Go to the WSP website (www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com) and create an order. <br />
2.
At checkout you will need to select the "pickup" option and you must
type "Ohio Soaper's Gathering" in the comment section. <br />
3. You must pay for your order at that time. I am not collecting money for this.<br />
4.
Let me know via Facebook or e-mail (bythehearth at aol dot com)
that you have an order. I would also appreciate a contact number in the
event there is a question at the time of pick up. It rarely happens
but I like to be prepared.<br />
<br />
A couple things of note: <br />
1. when you place an order for pickup you receive 20% off the published prices online<br />
2. if you don't want to use the website you may call it in but it must be paid for at the time of order. <br />
3. I will pick up on Friday, 4-25.<br />
3. I am not driving my SUV this year. I will have room but I obviously won't be able to accommodate huge orders.Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11559900183007084594noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36045074.post-7613069146842787752014-04-10T13:09:00.001-07:002014-04-10T13:09:01.125-07:00I finally made connections with Debbie May at Wholesale Supplies Plus! She has kindly offered to host a post-gathering dinner on April 26 in Sandusky. If you are interested in attending this dinner, it is imperative that you let me know no later than Wednesday, April 16. I can't get into the Ohio Soapers website so I'm asking that Kim or someone else please send this on to the email list for anyone who doesn't get this blog or facebook. Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this as it should be a fun event!Jackie Harrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06065479838602760663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36045074.post-70621013046740672612014-04-10T08:51:00.001-07:002014-04-10T08:51:15.748-07:00Here are the directions to the Gathering: Take State Route 250 N to where 250 veers off to the right, and you'll see the "Four Corner" bar.

<br />
At the Thirsty Pony/Quality Inn/Rain water park, there is laser tag as well.<br />
<br />
There is Skate World if you like roller skating;<br />
<br />
There are 2 museums - the Merry-Go-Round Museum down town and the Maritime Museum, both of which close somewhere between 4 and 5. <br />

So tomorrow (if I can borrow this computer again) I'll post a list of the local hotels - also along Route 250 - from which you can choose. I know you're all anxious, so I'm just letting you know that I'm working on it. I generally can't get online during weekends or evenings, but I was able to borrow one for tonight so I could bring you all up to date. If I've forgotten anything, please don't hesitate to let me know as I'm truly trying to get all of this done as soon as I possibly can. :o) And thank you for your understanding.Jackie Harrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06065479838602760663noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36045074.post-1062206376285793642014-02-15T15:57:00.000-08:002014-02-15T15:57:09.513-08:00Someone asked about activities in the area for Friday. My husband and I enjoy touring wineries when we go to new places, but there are also some local water parks that are a lot of fun for visitors - Kalahari, Maui Sands, and Great Wolf - all on Route 250 (the same road on which the Gathering will be.) There really isn't a lot else to do close to Sandusky this time of year. We also enjoy zoos, and there are 2 of those within an hour and a half from here in Toledo and Cleveland. The local metropark is always nice to visit, too, you also enjoy being out in nature. Osborn Park has some lovely walking trails. I hope this helps -Jackie Harrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06065479838602760663noreply@blogger.com0
