FaithManor Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I didn't go and so I don't know what the fees were. Our pastor's wife is just beginning her homeschool journey and is nervous about purchasing curriculum without really looking through her options and getting a first hand look at the books....their budget is tight so purchasing a dud would be very disastrous for them. The INCH convention in Michigan is quite limited in the number of vendors. I am impressed with the vendor list for the Midwest Convention in Cincinnati. Is there a "shopping only" fee or must one pay for the whole three days? Thanks, Faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela in ohio Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 There was a graduated price, where it started very low and then went up by about $5 each month as the convention drew nearer. I paid $65 for a family registration at the cheapest price, but I don't remember what the individual price was. There was a one-day shopping pass. I wonder if they will do it again this year, though. There were a lot of complaints about crowding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bry's-gal Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Last year they did do just a shopping pass. It is nice to go through and really look at the choices! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiobrain Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 The early registration was $25 for an individual, then it went up incrementally. I am sure they will still offer a vendor only pass, but I think that was $10 per day.... also, they got the WHOLE convention center this year to respond to the "crowding" issue. I don't think I could comfortably do that in one day! They want to keep everyone happy, vendors and homeschoolers alike! I have no idea if the rate will be the same or not.

katilac Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I paid about fifty bucks for dh and I for the weekend, not the early bird price. You cannot POSSIBLY look at all the vendors for any amount of time in one day, that's how many they have! Plus, it's very overwhelming, I find it best to go through one day looking for potential good fits, and then return to those in more depth the following day.

Mom2boys Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Registration opened today and the individual price is $25 and the family price is $40. But the prices are scheduled to go up $5 on November 18th. And they increase by $5 each month. Not sure if there is a shopping only pass or not.
