It was well worth the money and my traveling time (150 miles). I can't hardly wait for another event in my area."

Candi - I have not yet registered, trying to wait until they announce the location. Not sure why, just am waiting. I assume that you can do an electronic check but I do not know for sure. I will let you know when I see anything positive on that. Have a good day, Nancy
