Getting Ready to Be a Vendor!

Getting Ready!

I have been looking online for a while now for an acrylic display case to put on a table at the next Montreal Reptile Expo (October 23rd).  I have learned a few things while looking.

1.  They are quite expensive.

2.  There aren’t many/any producers in Canada (and the shipping on these things is also expensive).

3.  They are very nice once they are all set up.

I decided that I would try my hand at building one…and it turned out much nicer than I thought.  Thanks mostly to my friend Andrew who is apparently a very skilled acrylicer.

We found some scrap pieces of acrylic and started cutting the pieces and then glueing it all together.  Unfortunately I only have pics of the end product and not the process.  After how tricky it was to build I learned something else…why they are so expensive.  Luckily this only cost me about 40$.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And here is what it looks like with a few of the babies produced this year.

Andrea is helping to make the images required for a banner and some business cards.  Once I pick those up I will be ready to make my entrance as a vendor for the first time at the upcoming Montreal Reptile Expo at the Holiday Inn in Pointe-Claire on October 23rd, 2011.

Here are some closeups of the snakes while I had them out.
