MSBA Sportfishing Expo 2008/New Venue!

[BasicPatrick]

Hey guys,

With a very hard emphasis on the aspects that always make the MSBA show special, this show will have a vey similar feel to the shows at Bob's and the Braintree Armory, just bigger.

The concessions are run by and for a charity sports camp and will be cheeeeap!!!! MSBA heard the comments about the food prices and made that a priority at the new venue. The burgers are closer to $3 and not $12, so bring the neighbor's kids too.

As always Free parking means you pretty much gain $10-$12 more dollars to spend (hey that's a plug) then you can at any other show.

We just put up the web site www.msba.net/expo so you can keep updated on things as they progress. We are working on some pretty cool features that have not been seen in many many years. Look for these (if they work out) to be announced after the first of the year.

Who fights for our fishing issues in MA? Who fights for our access in MA? Come support the club that support your fishing.

While I always look forward to the Mass show and I hope my schedule offers me the time to drive up.Especially to see all the folks from here All good people..
It won't be the same without John Habs there.
He was worth the price of admission...
Without a doubt he would want us to enjoy ourselves so I guess thats what we do..
It certainly will be weird..
I think we should buy a Table in his memory..
So...Is there gonna be a plug building section this yr..???
That was fun when it was in the old place..

I would be up for that. I was thinking that would be nice especially for the RISSA show. I'm in for some bucks to support either.

Great !!!! it's got to bebetter than Foxboro. I only have on question. Do they have porta-potty's?

The new venue sounds great!

While it was nice to see Gillette, the Frozen Razor, last winter and the seminars were very good, the place seemed very disjointed to me.
It had sort of a sterile feel, and was not very inviting. Sounds like a more attendee friendly, exhibitor friendly location.

The distance is no problem for me as I would drive hundreds of miles to attend the MSBA Winter Show. I live on the NShore and cannot think of a better reason to go to Easton. Never seen the campus, and it sounds like the food problem will be resolved. Nice move supporting local youth sports, since the school systems can't seem to figure out how to support themselves.

Am looking forward to meeting some more of the faces here and would be willing to help with any setting up or breaking down that is needed. I'll prolly already be a MSBA member by the time of the Show, as I am seriously considering joining your fine group of anglers.

Be that as it may, congrats on finding the new place and good luck with the rest of the plans as this year's show comes to fruition.
