What kind of packages does TAC offer?
TAC offers both local and hotel packages for events.  Local packages do not include a hotel room, you only pay a crop fee and can choose the number of days you wish to attend.  Single day packages are offered as they become available.  Hotel packages include a hotel room at the hotel of the event for each night that you are registered to attend. You may also choose the number of days you wish to attend the crop.

How many people will be at this TAC Event?
The 2009 New Iberia event held 88 croppers.  There is room for approximately 100 croppers for the New Orleans 2010 event.

Can I bring my children?
B
ecause of the adult atmosphere and conversations that often occur at crops and this being a get-a-way for many attendees from their own families, children under the age of 16 are not allowed to participate in or attend events.  Visiting is always allowed as long as it is not for an extended period of time and children are well behaved.  With this in mind, please be respectful to your tablemates and others surrounding you when bringing in visitors.

What do I need to bring to a TAC event? 
Bring just the supplies that you think you would normally use when you scrapbook.  Please don't bring everything!!  If you pre-plan, that is the best way to make sure you have all of your supplies covered.  It also makes loading and unloading much easier and ensures you have comfortable space while cropping.  If  you have forgotten something, our vendors usually carry nearly all necessities and then some.  Dress comfortably and bring a sweater in case you find the room gets a little chilly.  You can bring a seat cushion if you need one.  Also, remember to bring some snacks and your camera to take pictures so you can scrapbook your unforgettable TAC memories.

Will there be any contests?
The BYB Layout Contest is held on Saturday evening.  You can find all information pertaining to contests & "just for fun" activities by visiting the events link where you will find the contests link.  This link will be open as contests are available.

Will there be any swaps?
You can find all information pertaining to the swaps and secret pals by visiting the events link where you will find the swaps link.  This link will be open as swaps are available.  Join the Yahoo group and the TAC  Facebook fan page to help decide which swaps will be included for the event your attending!

Are there going to be any classes or make-n-takes offered?  Where can I find out more about these?
Yes!  There will be several classes offered at an additional charge and free make-n-takes for you to choose from at all of the weekend events.  You will be able to find available classes by visiting the events link where you will find the classes link.  Vendors will offer make-n-takes at their booths throughout each day of the event.  You can sign up for these throughout the event.
Classes will fill on a first come first served basis.  Registration for remaining classes will be available at the event for those that did not fill.


Does TAC provide food with the crop packages?
TAC does not provide food for the weekend events.  To keep the events priced at a reasonable level for all attendees, I've chosen to opt out on having you pay for the high costs of hotel catering.

How much space will I have to crop?
Everyone has a cropping space of  4 feet by 3 feet (half of an 8 foot table).

Can I leave my cropping stuff at my seat overnight?
Yes, at 2 am each night the crop room will be locked without access to anyone, unless accompanied by TAC staff, until it is reopened the following morning.

I can't come to crop but would like to take a class or shop the vendors.
For a $5.00 fee, you can come into an event to take a class (see classes link for individual class fees),  come shop our vendors, and complete make-n-takes.  Just check in at the registration desk to pay your fee and purchase class tickets.

Will there be a tool table?
There will be a table with a selection of tools available for your use while you are cropping.
Here is a list of some of the items on this table:
Cricut with an assortment of cartridges (please bring your own mat), and a computer and color printer available for your journaling.


What is All Scrappers Seated?
When you register at a TAC event registration table, you will find a different colored ticket for each day that you are registered to crop.  Each night, Thursday-Saturday night at 10 pm and Sunday at 10 am, I will have 3 awesome prizes (ranging in value from $40 to over $100!) for you to try to win!  This means you have 12 chances to win throughout the weekend!  Each day will be assigned a colored ticket that you can use to try to win each night.  When you receive your ticket, write your name on the back and enter it into one of the three prize drawing bags that you would like to win.  The only catch to this is that you have to be seated to be eligible to win.

What are the door prizes?
As soon as you are registered for an event, you are automatically entered to win a door prize.  Thursday through Saturday from 9 am til 9 pm, and Sunday from 9 am til noon, I will draw a name every hour from our registered attendees list to come to the registration desk to choose a prize.  The door prizes always include some of the newest and hottest products in stores!  You do not need to be present to choose your prize, just make sure you check the prize board to see if your name was called while you were away!

Will there be vendors?
Yes!  You can see the vendor list on our events link.

Will the vendors take credit cards?
Vendors may or may not be accepting credit cards.  Come prepared to pay cash or with a check just in case.

Can we bring food and drinks into the crop room?
TAC has a no open drink policy for all events.  There should be NO OPEN DRINKS OF ANY KIND ON ANY CROP TABLES! All drinks must have covers, preferably no-spill, or should be placed in a drink holder that attaches to the table, such as a Sidekick (by Creative Memories) or a Tag-a-long (by Chatterbox).  I will have these holders for sale at the registration desk.  This is for the safety and respect for your tablemates and your own precious photos and keepsakes.  We ask that everyone abide by this request.

What is the event Early Registration Drawing?
Everyone who clears their event balance in full by the mentioned deadline (posted on the events page as it is available) will be entered to win $100 cash!  This drawing is done on Sunday after the 10 am prize drawing.
