June 23-24
Gardendale First Baptist Church
This is the closest homeschool convention to the Birmingham area this year. If you need some encouragement, you will find it in the workshops. If you need to explore some curriculum choices, you will find some great choices at the Curriculum Fair. Register now to receive the early bird discounts (which will expire on June 9th).
I at least attend the Curriculum Fair for an opportunity to touch and review curriculum. You will find a list of the vendors on the website, and if you are looking into a certain curriculum, this is a great opportunity to spend some time with the materials in hand without spending the money (and dealing with return issues if it doesn’t work). Also, I often find that I can get a better deal buying it in the curriculum hall, because I don’t have to pay shipping or distributor fees (and there are usually convention discounts).
Check out the information at http://www.chefofalabama.org/convention.html, and don’t forget to register by June 9th to receive the early bird discount!
