According to my gps it is a 453 mile 7 hour journey but I think we can make a weekend go of it and enjoy our time in Texas.
Look forward to a great show!

There's also a show the next day at Trader's Village. So it's 2 shows in one weekend. The shows are actually only a few miles apart so it's also convenient. Hope you can make them both!

Start her off right. My 8 year old loves going to the shows and meeting new people. Your daughter will have plenty of kids to hang out with at the show.

Has anyone washed their show shirt yet? My wife just washed ours half the ink is gone:(

[NBTF]

Just washed mine and it is ok, just seems a little of the cream/tan ink came off but nothing bad.

[gixxer711]

Has anyone washed their show shirt yet? My wife just washed ours half the ink is gone:(

how many did this happen to? didnt yall buy a couple? we will get it figured out.

i wonder if others put them in the drier first or sit awhile before washed, it will set the ink, since that was the issue at the show, of not being able to use their heater.

[ConcreteAce]

I havnt worn mine yet. Courtney wore hers Sunday. It no longer says V-DUB . The V is almost almost all gone. The first 3 to 4 inches of the image is faded across the entire image. On the back almost half of Kermits logo is faded.

I put mine in the dryer for 20 minutes before I washed it to set the ink as someone as suggested and it still came off on the back and the left side, mostly the tan ink.

[Comrade]

I have posted my pix here. The picture site I use was down for two weeks after a server crash, what a mess. Here ya be! http://www.pbase.com/dwyoung01/hvwc
