Now that ICRBE 2009 is in the books, I just want to take the opportunity to thank everyone who visited our booth, as well as
Tom for his outstanding - as - usual effort in making this our best show ever. We remain committed to locating exceptional
values on all kinds of rodbuilding products, so that we can promote the growth of this great craft.

Looking forward to next year,

Dean Pertot
