We would like to thank all the vendors and attendees–we are so pleased with the turnout this year. In 2013 we plan on add more classes and new vendors, so start checking in the Summer.
Show dates 2013: October 25 & 26
Class Changes
As of today, we have 2 classes filled: Free Sewing Machine Troubleshooting and Hand Sewing. Thanks to all those who are attending!
We are cancelling the Chap Tops class to allow more time for the Chap Making–and that class is now scheduled all day Thursday (November 8th), Friday afternoon and as much of Saturday as they need to complete the chaps.
The Hand Sewing class does require the students to bring a good quality sewing awl–everything else will be provided. If a student needs a sewing awl there will be several tool vendors at the show to purchase from, or if you prefer, ask Vandy or Luke for help when you check in.
We are so looking forward to the show…
More Trade Show Information
Only a few weeks until the Trade Show… I thought I had better publish a few more ideas before then.
The show is open to the public and at no charge, however, everyone will be required to register. The easiest way to do this is by visiting the Online Registration page or calling us at 307-674-6679. If you pre-register, your name badge will be waiting for you at the door and you will be able to enter the show when the doors open at 9 AM. This will save everyone time waiting in line–leaving more time to shop!
Bring plenty of business cards to make purchasing easier and quicker– many vendors require names and addresses especially when using a credit card.
If there is a class you are interested in, but did not sign up for, we may be able to squeeze you in. Please ask at the Registration area as soon as you arrive.
The show hours are 9AM-5PM both days. We have home-cooked lunch available both days, so please plan on eating at the show.
The Trade Show …
The Trade Show is about 7 weeks away– now is the time to make room reservations and sign up for classes! Rooms in Pendleton are tight that week in November, so please patronize the host hotels that are providing a show rate.

Classes set for November
We have been working to finalize the class schedule for the 2012 Pendleton show and have wrapped it up, finally. We are pleased with the diversity of subjects and instructors, and hope you will see something that interests you. Please look over the list and see that we have several free seminars this year and we hope to add more before November and as the show grows in coming years. All classes and free seminars are able to be purchased through our main website–we have easy links next to each class that takes you to the correct page on the website. We would love to hear from you about the subjects that interest you: send us an email or call anytime. Of course if you have any questions about the show, classes, seminars etc, please contact us as well.
Luke and I are …
Luke and Vandy are happy to announce that beginning in 2012, we will be producing the Pendleton Leather Show. We would first like to thank Ron & Sheryl for running the show in Pendleton, and for letting us purchase it from them at this time. They did a great job for many years, and provided us with an excellent platform on which to build.
