Dear Readers, 

Well, the clouds have cleared and we are ready to welcome you to tonight's Valley-Wide eExpo! Ticket sales will close at 2pm and won't be available at the door, so make sure you've pre-purchased yours, and bring your receipt to the Cove when you come.

We'd like to remind you, if you've been considering joining us on the Iceland excursion, the early-bird savings of $200 has been extended till MAY 15th. After that, the price increases. 

See you tonight,
