Hi Ohioans,
You've got a great idea going. You're also in the wrong place for it.
There's a section devoted to Gatherings, and in it, there's a MidWest Nest section, which is held in Columbus, Ohio. As there are a good deal of you, it sounds as if organizing another shouldn't be too difficult. I'll leave this thread here, and ask you take such group-event discussions there, as that's what a gathering is, a group event.
Bellarisa hosted the last one there, which I attended and enjoyed. Annaloo99 hosted the previous one, which also had rave reviews from attendees. There's likely to be others, if you folks show an interest. There's a brief lull right now, as Bella has a newborn in the house, but there's more than one home in that part of the world. All it takes is one other person to collaborate, and you have an event. Good luck to you all!
