Don't just take our word for why you should come! Here are some of the many positive comments we received after the 2010 Conference:
s Packed a lot into a short time.
s You made time to see exhibits between classes but not so long that it made the day never ending.
s Great schedule choices to select from!
s So many excellent workshop choices this year. There was a good mix of the practical and the theoretical. Fantastic speakers. The best KCEA I've been to.
s This speaker was wonderful, on target, relevant, and scriptural.
s Music could not be better! What a blessing every time.
s This topic was much needed and made me think.
s Very helpful workshop - I've had key problems answered.
s Is there a better place to go than Willow Valley? Always a pleasure to come here.
s This speaker gave a tremendous application of scriptural truth to an often subjective issue. This session was superb!
s Even though you can't shop from all the exhibitors, I've found something each year that has benefited me. This year they were wonderful again!
s Loved the "none-rushed" feel of the schedule.
