I.S.E Show Scramento a Must SEE!!

Spent over 4 hrs. yesterday at the International Sportsmans Exposition at Cal-Expo
Sacramento. Got to meet several rod builders including Doc Ski and Dennis, Larry Lee,
and Gordon Gee. Don't miss this opportunity to meet many great people and share ideas!
You can save a ton of $$ too! Doc and Dennis P. were especially gracious and although
were quite busy spent as much time with me as I wanted!! I got a couple of blanks, some
Rod Bond & U-40 cork seal, and lots of other neat stuff at discount $$. Doc gave a great
deal on his Advanced Weaving DVD and a jig. Anyone who is not to far away should make the time and BE THERE!! You will not be dissapointed I promise you!!

Tom,

The hrs today and tomorrow are 10:00am till 9:00pm. The show closes tomorrow.

Jack,
That is the very reason I chose to go Fri. The weekend was expected to be PACKED!
Also, the show started on Thursday but I had to work then.

Thur or fri. was probably ok Sat I got there at 9:30 waited in line to go in. By 11:00 it was so packed you couldn't move. I was gone by 11:30 and the cars were lined up for miles to get it. It would of been nice to be able to talk to someone but not today.
