O.K. Here we are again getting ready for the Shreveport Bead Retreat. We are moving to a different facility
this year. The Holiday Inn Downtown 102 Lake St, Shreveport, LA 71101
(318-222-7717) is our host hotel. Registrants
will have the choice of staying at this Holiday Inn or the Holiday Inn Express & Suites (318-585-1000) diagonally across the
street. There is a block of rooms at each location. We are closer to the Casinos but further from some great shopping
area.
For those of you who have attended the Texas Bead Retreat or the Arkansas Bead Cave this will be very
similar. ;The retreat actually starts on Friday but usually meet on Thursday before noon to setup and go to lunch then
the fun begins. Your hotel room might
Not be available until 3:00 p.m. The meals will be buffet style - a set menu and I will try
to select something that everyone will enjoy. Some special diet requirements can be handled
if I know in advance. This will be
a fun filled weekend with Beaders coming to share and learn from each other. You may contact me at
iwilli71129@gmail.com with any questions.
Reservation will be on a first come first reserve basis with prior registrants
given first choice at the available spaces. Your registration fee will guarantee your spot at the retreat. If
you are sharing a room please let me know your roommate.
Challenge:
This year's challenge hasn't been decided but it will be a challenge ... Prizes are great as usual!
Pendant swap: Make a pendant to swap. Please limit your pendants for
the swap to two. We will do the swap on Saturday after supper. Hope everyone makes a really pretty pendant to swap.
White Elephant Box: Bring your unwanted
items to share with others your rejects might be someone's wants... II have been looking through
my stash and pulling things I will never use. I am sure my white elephants will be someone else's treasures.
