The 2009 International Custom Rod Building Exposition
Posted by: Anonymous User (Moderator)
Date: May 13, 2008 11:15AM

... will be held on February 20 and 21, 2009 at the ShowPlace Center in High Point, NC.

There will be some minor changes to the intinerary this year and those changes will be announced on the official event website in early June.

Regardless of what the experts predict for the economy or anything else, we are moving ahead with this and it will be the grandest rod building event of all time, surpassing even the previous 5 Expo's.

Please don't call the Radisson until the first of June. They are not yet ready to start taking reservations. We negotiated the same room rate as last year ($79 night) so there will not be any increase for those of you who choose to lodge there.

I will be there for my first. I wasn't able to come this year & was in a funk when you thought you would not have one in 2009. This is great news & like everyone else will be saving my money & making a list. This works out great since it will be around my 02/14 birthday. It will be my wife's valentine gift to me LOL.

True that Mike - I was depressed for about 2 months!

Seriously - every rodbuilder that has any chance at all should attend. This could be the last one. Who knows? Car pool, rent a bus, whatever. Get there!

I'll be there too!!! However, I think I'm gonna bring a camper and stay at the campground instead of getting a room. I'll need info on that, Tom.

I'll make sure to add that information to the website in June. The city campground is really quite nice and only about 3 miles from the ShowPlace.
