You have read my mind and are exactly what we need if we are going to try this. With your help and other members on here, I think we can put on something that will be very valuable to the fishing community in general... I think it will benefit the vendors, state and the fishermen. I think this has a promise of being a pretty big event and a lot of fun... If we decide to do it, we have got a lot to do quick to make it happen... So pass this idea around your fiends and give us a gage of interest and lets decide on it next week. If it's a go, I'll contact the Fish and Game, State Parks and start working on our great sponsor vendors that have donated so much to help us out with contests... I think they might be able to offer show discounts that will make their gear a little more affordable and at the same time, they will sell a lot more and have less to close out at the end of the season... We'll set up a loose planning group on the forum and reach out for food vendors and such so we make this a fun thing for families as well... Not state parks make this type event a pain in the rear because of all their fees and regs, so maybe Mantua might be a good spot... Anyone know the Mantua city folks that we could find out what they might require??? Later J
