"Power Cropping" Class

Meal Plan.  Grocery List. A Will. Laying out your clothes the night before. A page kit. What do all these things have in common? Decisions are made ahead of time that simplifies the end process.  Come learn how page kits can help you be more productive with less mess, less agony and reduce the amount of things you bring with you to a cropping event.  Come learn from a cropper that did 67 pages at one weekend crop.  Stop buying page kits ... and make your own.  This informative class could change you from a 'bring the kitchen sink cropper' to one who hit's the cropping room ready to be productive.
