Our third Annual PolyPalooza Retreat was once again be held in beautiful Lake Tahoe, Nevada.  The Zephyr Point Conference Center is situated in a breathtakingly beautiful and quiet location right on the lake shore, yet is just minutes from Stateline and access to the casinos and nightlife.

The retreat is open to Clayville California members as well as the public (space permitting).  This year we hosted quite a few "day-trippers" and set up workspace to accommodate a total of 28 clayers...our biggest group yet, and about the max we could fit in the conference room!  We had a great group of attendees this year, and were able to round some of them up for a group photo (apologies to those who were elsewhere when it was taken).  We also had our most successful raffle to date, and the retreat committee already has ideas on how to spend the proceeds to make the upcoming 2010 retreat even more exciting!

The goodie bags are always a big hit each year, and we'd like to extend our sincerest appreciation to these vendors for their generous donations in 2009:

Clay Factory, KLEW, Lisa Pavelka, Polyform Products, Polymer Clay Superstore, Satin Cord Store, Soft Flex Company and Victoria James Art.

Stay tuned for upcoming info on PolyPalooza 2010 and/or contact the retreat chairperson for information and details.  Be prepared - with an extra day added on and special plans already in progress, the 4th annual retreat is shaping up to be the best yet!
