As stated...CMS was there and I am told that Hatteras Jack had a family health emergency going on so had to cancell at the last minute. 
Given that this show was put together in a 3 month time frame due to issues which arose regarding our last venue....you gotta tip your hat for the fine job MSBA did with this show in a short amount of time, never mind when you have a whole year to prepare. I gotta say I thought the venue was great, lots of places to hang out, take a load off and chat with folks....made you want to stay all day.
In regards to the turning demo as I said....with the short time frame to work with things did not work out as planned in that regard. It was hoped that the club could get that jump started late but there were a few snags and snafus...maybe it will happen again in the future.
As for a potty....there was a porto-potty in the lot....you had to have driven past it on the way in....about 50 yards from the main entrance. Rules are rules and the Gillette workers have theirs to follow.....otherwise some would take advantage as some always will.
Fishing rods??? Never saw so many leaving the show in new owners hands as I saw today!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

I cannot believe the pissing and moaniing from someone who had to drive a long distance.  If you read the postings on this site and on the bulletins and on the TV and from word of mouth you would have at least the intellegence to make a piss call on the way and arrive at 10 am. That would have eliminated your bitching about the waiting and the toilet availability. The porta potty was there in the lot as BF stated. The ceiling height in the front of the show was no lower than Filenes, but the lighting was poor. Guaranteed that venors will take note and provide more for their booths next show.
As far as the show goes -- I think the show was excellent. There are things to iron out as this is the first time at Gillette. BUT with the count of good customers and shoppers attending, I will bet that all vendors that were not present will be begging for space next year.
THANK YOU PATRICK AND THE MSBA FOR YOUR EXCELLENT EFFORT AND A GOOD SHOW.    |

Drove an hour myself and had a great time. Nice talking to Dave and Dave again, your rubba looks great along with the new plug lineup. I was able to score a RM Smith plug that I will never fish it is just to nice. The purple-black-gold scale effect is awesome. Talked with Frank D as well-great time, thanks to everyone who organized it.

Wow, I guess a guy can't even post an opinion without getting his chit jumped on  Everyone is entitled to his (or her) own opinion and it should be respected even if it differs from your own............... |

Mac, I don't take it personally....it IS still winter, after all! Like I said, it was my opinion. Sorry to those that feel that it is the wrong one!  |

Very Well Said MAC.
Just my 2 cents, but I would think that the club would be open to all input, and concerned for what folks think, and might need to be fixed.
I will be going there tommorrow, and check it out.
seems like most went today... did you MAC? |

I got there at 10:30 and just got home, I never went to the other show but this was by far the best show I ever went to. I never made it to the end I saw so many peolpe that I new or met for the first time I never saw the whole show. It was packed in the start of the show but thinned out at the end. I was at the raffle table for 3 hrs. at the end of the show.
