Lance,
Go the sponsor's list on the left at the very top and you can find out all the info you'll need on the show in Charlotte. I also left a post on your other question. Randy.

home.earthlink.net/~nationalrodshow for all the details.

You will be able to see, feel and try any of the current rod wrapping lathes or jigs and.or dryers in Charlotte at the National Rod Builders Show. The amount of product you will be able to see there is unparalleled by any other event.

If you're that close, shame on you if you don't drive over and attend. There are guys coming from Australia and Itay just to attend this thing. You're lucky to be so close to the world's largest rod building event.

It is the single biggest event in the world for rodbuilders!!! Plan on spending 2 days their and you will still want more!!! Check the list of FREE seminars/workshops and number of vendors that display. You will never see this many componentd/supplies under one roof!

I only wish I could drive it in 2 and half hours! I'll be on the road from sunup to sundown and then some!!! But it's easily worth it. I plan to do it every year from now on.

The recent direct mail campaign that I did for the event has produced results beyond my wildest dreams. The number of builders who have gotten in touch with me about the event, due to the cards I mailed, has been almost overwhelming. Most of these builders did not previously know the show existed. Proof that there are just a ton of builders out there, still waiting to get involved with other builders.

If the weather is good, I think we'll easily see 1400 to 1500 rod builders this year. And the more builders who attend, the more information will be on hand.
