Had an epic time with Sam today, the organiser of the Taupō Collectibles Event.
I helped him set up a few of the tables for a bit, then had to head off for family stuff and enjoy the holiday, but it was so good to finally meet him properly.
Sam is such a generous, genuine guy who really puts his heart into the Taupō event. It was awesome meeting another fellow collector, but also another event organiser.
We had a good chat about running events and all the trials and tribulations that come with it. There are honestly only a handful of people who truly understand the mountain of work involved and the stress that happens behind the scenes.
We love doing these events, but most people never see the months of work, planning, problem solving and commitment that goes into making them happen.
I’m honestly in awe of Sam’s efforts to build something special for his community.
Make sure you head along tomorrow and support the event.
See you guys there tomorrow ❤️
