After reading posts on the Golden Teddy thread from Jared and Karen, I'm wondering if there is an event for the TOBY's too.  I've not received my packet of information yet, and I guess because this is all new to me....well, okay.....I'm impatient.  So there you have it.  I'm wondering about the where and when of it all.

Warmest bear hugs,  :hug:

Aleta,
The TOBY Award Ceremony will be at the IDEX Show in Las Vegas! I attended the TOBYs last year in Las Vegas and this is the second year that they will be there. The show is a little difficult for most teddy bear artists. It's primarily a wholesale show. But who knows?! The show is under new management and, maybe, it'll get a little friendlier to teddy bear artists?
Karen
P.S. Last year I went just for the awards ceremony and did not have a booth at the show. Sadly, I can't afford to do that this year, so, unless there are changes to the format I won't be attending. But don't let me discourage you! Las Vegas is fun, and how often do you get to attend a TOBY Awards Show!

Thank you, Karen!   bear_flower
It certainly won't be difficult to talk my husband into accompanying me to Las Vegas!!  bear_original  bear_original   I guess I'll just have to be patient and wait for the packet with all the details in it to arrive.  Good grief.....I hadn't even thought about showing my bears there.   bear_wacko

Is anyone else out there planning on attending? 

Warmest bear hugs,  :hug:

The year I got a TOBY (2005) they had it at the Schaumburg Illinois show. I thought that was great, because it';s just generally a great show.  Go if you can Aleta! It really is a thrill of a lifetime. See that BIG smile on me in my avitar picture? That's me at the TOBY Awards!!!
