All the “Flockers” are invited to "Hook Up and Chew the Jerky" at the table flying the "Meet The Flockers" banner in the Refreshment Area. Maybe we can kill the “real snakes” while resting our feet and chewing on Jerky. Clyde de Gator will make random personal appearances with his family!

No! You cannot bite, chew, or cut on the EVA/Hypalon grips I will fock with the canister. I will show a rod that a dog tried to eat and how flocking can solve/repair a Hypalon rod. You can wash it with water all you want.

T E H... I don't care who you are, that's funny right there... hahahhah

This flocking demonstration by itself makes the show worth it. With everything else that will be going on, I'm fit to be tied that I can't make it there. I had all but booked a flight when things went south. Y'all better take some good notes!!
