I'll definitely be at the MSBA show again this year. It's small enough to not get overwhelmed and there are good vendors. Best of all, it's in my town so I don't have to plan to be there for the whole day.

I've been to the RISSA show for about the last 5 or 6 years and I'll be back at that one. Always has good seminars and plenty of stuff to buy or just dream about buying. It's also a good place to meet some of the guys from this site like #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&, Canalman, Point Jude Joe, etc...
And, it's a great excuse to grab a bite at Federal Hill and/or take in the "performing arts" scene in Providence.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

I probably don't attend enough shows to know what qualifies as a good one versus a bad one, but I attended the Salt Water Expo at the Garden State Exhibition Center in NJ a couple years ago and pretty much walked around like a kid in a candy store. I'll probably go to it this year. I think it's in March.

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
