    I see I can pay for entry online. Last year as we walked to the ticket window someone gave us bracelets for entry - their group had extras. So we got in for free. Online you pay an extra $1 fee. Sounds unnecessary to me, but $1 to not wait in line? Hmmmmm.... Beginning to think about details now!

    my suggestions are to get there early, I arrived 45 min early, went to sign in and it seems when I registered on line they didnt charge me the registration fee just the class charges, so I had to pay another $38.00 when I got there, the supply list was incomplete, because you also needed your ruler, cutter and cutting mat, pins etc. so read your supply list and read between the lines too. Also in the 45 min i got there early I still made it to class at straight up 9 and they had already started?????
