I just thought I’d post some thank you’s regarding the PA Gathering www.HauntersGathering.com since I was involved in some of the planning - at least in a small way.
It’s over for 2006 but thanks to the following vendors everyone who attended The Pennsylvania Gathering took something cool home with them. Whether it was haunted art or hot sauce or a discount we couldn’t have done it without them. So here’s a list, in no particular order, of vendors who supported us. Check out some of the new faces, and old, from their links.
Also, special thanks to Mike and Susan Bruner who put this all on and gave seminars on “how to build a skeletal gargoyle” and “preserving our haunt memories for promotional use”. Their tireless efforts for years starting from the humble gathering beginnings in their back yard usually go unrewarded. Not one dime collected has gone home with them, and they have always refused to accept any door prizes.
Other special seminar guests like Fright Crazy Jim Jones frightcrazyjim@aol.com of Frightland who gave a seminar on Monster Mud, Rex B Hamilton who gave a seminar on publicity stunts, and Jeremey Dalessandro of Creepy Collections www.CreepyCollection.com rounded out the day. Tons of info and ideas were shared.
And of course thanks to all who attended. See you next year.
Thanks to all,
Patrick Nottingham
