Hi Stacie!! It is sooooo worth the money. Look at it this way: 1. you get to travel to another state maybe you have never been to (sort of a mini vacation). the sweepstake hosts posts and inform us of lots of things to do in the area so you aren't bored, site seeing, day and night life adventures, resturants to eat at, places to shop, etc. 2. you get to meet others who share the same hobby as you and hopefully you start a really good friendship. 3. the convention itself is sooooo fun, they give away LOTS & LOTS of prizes the whole time the convention is going on. there is a dinner night where you put your nice clothes on and join everyone for the big event (where the larger prizes are given away). there will be lots of speakers to keep us sweepers motivated to keep on sweepin.
i say if you have the money....GO!!.... my hubby and I are definitely going to this. can't wait!! *smiles* i hope you go and we can sit together if you'd like... get a SA table poppin!! *wink
