UPDATE: Here's a clickable jpeg of the registration form, which you can print out, fill out and mail to Pat O'Rourke.



It's not to soon to start planning for next year's event. Note the early registration discount is only good until Nov. 1.

  1. Virginia is doable for me, I live in North Carolina. I'm really excited. Finally I can go to one! Maybe, probably.

  2. I like that this is planned for earlier in the summer. For those of us who teach and still have youngsters starting school in August, this is better timing.

  3. I also live in NC so this one would be do-able for me as well. Do you have to attend the entire convention or can you come on a day pass. For instance, is it open to the public for a set fee per day or is it closed to the public and you need to reserve your spot by sighing up for the package deal?

    Also is there some special website where you can read all about the paper doll convention and it's activities; such as the agenda or items listed on each day or how to enter paper dolls into the display/competitions.

    I just want to read more about it and can only find snippets here and there. I'd appreciate being pointed in the right direction. - grins

  4. EK,

    No partial registrations are available. Conventions are costly affairs to put on, and convention organizers need total "buy in" from us to, at the very least, break even. The guest registrations are cheaper, but guests receive no souvenirs, just the meals.

    It is well worth getting the early bird registration of $230, which expires Nov. 1.

    Also, I'll email you the Garth Lax updates from the 2013 convention, so you can see how it is organized.

    Look forward to seeing you in Richmond!
