THE OCTOBER 21st/22nd SHOW HAS BEEN CANCELED. WE HAVE BEEN GETTING TOO MUCH BACKLASH ABOUT HOLDING THE EVENT IN A CITY WITH RULES AGAINST REPTILES, DESPITE THE CITY PERMITTING AND SUPPORTING THE EVENT. WE UNDERSTAND THE VENDORS CONCERNS AND THOUGH WE HAVE TAKEN ALL PERCAUTIONS AND GOT EVERY GUARENTEE THAT THE DETROIT ORDINACE AGAINST REPTILES WOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE, THIS IS THE VENDORS LIVELY HOOD AND IT IS HARD TO TRUST A NEW EVENT WITH A PROMOTION COMPANY THEY HAVE NEVER DONE BUSINESS WITH. IN ADDITION TO THIS, NONE OF THE HOTELS IN THE AREA WERE WILLING TO WORK WITH US ON A REASONABLE RATE AND WITH PARKING COSTS OF $16 PER DAY, WE CALCULATED THE COST TO A VENDOR FROM OUT OF THE AREA TO VEND WOULD BE MORE THAN 4 TIMES THE COST OF TABLES AND THAT IS NOT FAIR. WE ATTEMPTED TO SECURE A VENUE OUTSIDE OF THE DETROIT ORDINANCE CITY LIMITS FOR THESE REASONS, HOWEVER WITH SUCH SHORT NOTICE, WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO. FOR THESE REASONS WE ARE CANCELING THIS EVENT UNTIL 2024. IF YOU ARE A PAID REGISTERED VENDOR, WE ARE PROCESSING A REFUND TO YOU FOR THIS EVENT AND BECAUSE YOU JUMPED ON BOARD WITH THIS EVENT FROM THE DOOR, BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR CENCELATION NOTICE, WE ARE INCLUDING SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR YOU. FOR ALL THE PEOPEL PLANNING ON ATTENDING THE EVENT, WE ARE SORRY, BUT WE HAVE TO LOOK OUT FOR THE VENDORS AND WITH THE CONCERNS WITH THIS EVENT, WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GIVE YOU THE BEST SHOW, BECAUSE SOME OF THE GREAT VENDORS WERE TOO CONCERNED TO COME. WITH THE NEW VENUE LOCATION OUTSIDE OF DETROIT, THESE CONCERNS WILL NO LONGER EXSIST. WE HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND AND WE WILL SEE YOU ALL IN 2024. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS NOTICE, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CHAT US, EMAIL US, OR CALL US.  WE THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND ALLOWING US THE TIME TO MAKE THIS AN AMAZING SHOW!  SEE YOU ALL IN 2024!!

WAIT THERE IS MORE!! EVEN THOUGH WE ARE NOT HOLDING THIS EVENT IN THE CITY OF DETROIT, WE ARE STILL MOVING FORWARD AND CONTINUING TO WORK WITH THE CITY OF DETROIT IN CHANGING THE ORDINANCES TO PERMIT REPTILES INSIDE THE CITY LIMITS. SO PLEASE STAY TUNED IN, FOR WE WILL NEED YOUR SUPPORT TO HELP PUSH THIS FORWARD. WE CAN ONLY SUCCEED AS A TEAM.
