How can I register for a TAC Event?
You can register online by clicking the registration link
on the events page. To register and pay by credit card, simply complete
the online registration form. You do not need
a Pay Pal account to pay your registration fee. You have the option of paying
by opening an account or by just entering your payment info. To register
and pay by check, you'll need to print and mail in the registration form, along
with your payment, to the address listed on the registration form.
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.
Can I make
payments toward my package costs?
Sure! If you choose, you can make as many
payments as you need to through Paypal or by mailing in a check. If you need to check your balance or have a question about making
payments, please e-mail me at
tabitha@theacadianacroppers.com
I am coming with a group of friends. How can we make sure that we are all
seated together?
When you fill out the registration form, you will
see a section for you to list your table mates. Make sure to list everyone
you wish to sit with/near. You may also as specific as to indicate who you prefer to sit next to,
across from, etc. We will do our best to accommodate any special seating
requests.

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?
Because
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.
