so I guess there is a mini in Tennessee next weekend...thinking of going... (my friend told me about it) but then I got to thinking.... What exactly is a mini? I mean here I am thinking of driving over 5 hours one way getting a hotel room for the night and driving 5 hours back for something I don't even know what it is??  all because he said LOR people were going to be there!!  wow that is an addiction right! 

 

But then I got to thinking some more - why do I never see one for North Carolina?? So I got to thinking some more (this is why my show gets bigger and bigger) If it is just basically a social... a gathering of people... that come together...and talk about LOR stuff... throw in a little food and beverage... well golly, I can do that.  I'm social... I got food. 

 

So how many people would be interested in coming to my house for a cook-out in say mid May or June for a cook out ???

I live in Concord, NC.

Hopefully you will still consider coming over to the Tennessee mini. You cant go to enough of these, they are always a lot of fun and hopefully worth the time and money spent.

Software: LOR, Vixen, HLS, Superstar, Xlights/Nutcracker

 

Construction of elements; Need ideas how to construct leaping arches, mega trees, spiral trees, Marty Fan, etc.

 

What’s new: Let’s talk about the new stuff

 

We will have experienced people with some of the best displays in Tennessee and surrounding area here to talk and teach.

ParalegalNC - sorry have not been on the forums for a couple weeks due to power loss and business travel. I am located in the Burlington/Graham area - about an hour and half from Concord. I would love to do something like this. I probably have more questions than answers as I move into RGB area but just meeting some fellow light enthusiasts would be fun.  I have visited the christmascarolinas site a few times but not recently.  Anyway, if you get more interests, keep me posted at rjmcmasters@triad.rr.com
