SpouseBUZZ LIVE in Hampton Roads, VA on April 4
March 8, 2009|
We'll kick off the 2009 SpouseBUZZ LIVE tour on April 4 in Hampton Roads, Virginia. We are super-excited to go back to the area. This time, we're pretty sure we'll have better weather!
SpouseBUZZ LIVE Hampton Roads will be a little different than our past events, but in a very good way. For one thing, we'll be featuring a mini-concert. That's right, troop-supporting, USO-touring rockers Lansdowne will be playing for the military spouses of Hampton Roads, and they're pretty psyched about it. The guys are used to performing for our spouses overseas, but this time the tables will be turned. Spouses in attendance will have the opportunity throughout the day to pose for photos with the band, get their autographs and purchase their CDs.
We are charging a nominal fee of $9.99 per person for this event, but don't worry, you're going to get a huge bang for your buck. Each attendee will receive a super-nice tote, which is great on its own, but the bag will be filled with goodies, information and surprises from our sponsors, plus you'll have plenty of room to add additional gifts from the vendor booths, and raffle prizes (except the ones you can't carry, like appliances....).
We have never charged a fee for our events, but we do order food and beverages based on the number of registrations and in the past, we've had more registrations than actual attendees, so this helps us plan more accurately and it allows us to bring additional entertainment to you.
So, for $9.99, you will get a fantastic day of fun and fellowship with other military spouses, a concert, food and beverages, lots of freebies and a chance to win some really incredible raffle prizes.
Registration is now open, click here to register. We'll see you on April 4!
The full program runs from 8:45A - 3:00P and will be held at the following location:
Virginia Beach Holiday Inn Executive Center
5455 Greenwich Road
Virginia Beach, VA 23462

So do we need to pay extra if we bring our child(ren)? My husband is deployed, and I can not see paying daycare as well.

I am so happy to be going for the first time! I did cancel last year due to husband being deployed and the hurricane - was going to bring my 2 children with me. This time, I am coming alone and can not wait to meet a bunch of you! Unfortunately, I do not know a lot of military wives due to working full time in the civilian sector, living off base and full time student. My free time is - Wait - I don't have free time! So I can really use this weekend and am looking forward to meeting everyone! See you soon!
Oh did anyone book a room at the same hotel as SpouseBuzz Live?

Has anyone heard anything back on whether or not kids can come? Its the one thing holding me back too!
Posted by: Kitara | 03/26/2009 at 12:20
i to am wondering if i am able to bring my child...i dont know anyone that i would be willing to ask to watch my son for that period of time here.

My husband is currently deployed. Can I bring my daughter?
Posted by: M Garner | 03/30/2009 at 21:10
I am hoping kids can come because I have already bought the ticket and I have 3 kids. And of course my husband would be deployed. So I hope so. I hope to hear if it is OK before Sat so I can find a baby sitter if I have to.

I sent out information reference to the Spouses BUZZ - I'm getting allot of calls and emails with questions reference to children attending the event. Also can you please post and send me a phone number where spouses can call for further information.
Posted by: Melissa Harris | 04/01/2009 at 16:59
Do we have to be punctually there? Can I come let's say at 10.00? If I leave early, will I still be able to win in a raffle drawing?

So no one has said anything about bringing kids well i have a 6 month old is he to young to bring? my hubby is on deployment and was wondering if someone can let me know...thanks hope to see you tomorrow...
Posted by: Nikki | 04/03/2009 at 13:44
I had email them because I also have two children and my hubby is on deployment and this is what the reply was:
We try to keep this an adult-only occasion but do realize that childcare can be an issue. If you can't find childcare and you do bring your child we ask that you just please leave the room if they become disruptive. You also may want to bring snacks for them as there is no food service provided.
I am still going.

I read that children are NOT permitted. Adults only.
Posted by: donna | 04/03/2009 at 21:18
I read that NO children are allowed. This is an adult ONLY function.
