COOL!
last year was my first since it was held together with the Flyfishing show in Charlotte. I hope it will be the first of many. Now that I've got a couple of rods under my belt, there a so many avenues to explore.
thanks for all your hard work.
Eric

I liked the fly fishing stuff but the expo is better on its own. Bigger and more rod building stuff now. Will be there again next year. Any word on hotels??

WOOO HOOO!! I can't wait. I know that my daughter is just as excited about it as I am. She says she needs "more rods"... I fear I may have created a monster.

I hope to make my first expo next year. I know I will see a lot of old friends there and hope to meet some new builders. I have been going to shows for more then almost 40 years and never walked away from one that I didn't like but this one appears to be one that tops them all. Cant Wait.

Bernie-

I met you at a Rodcrafters seminar many years ago when Dale was still the host. As good and as much fun as we had, Tom\'s expo is something that even Dale could never have imagined!

I am so glad to hear it. I wasn't able to go last year, (my first year of knowing about it) but this year come @#$%& or high water nothing will stop me. I can't wait to meet the giants of this world, attend the seminars, actually get to handle components that I have only been able to see online or even worse, just heard about and of course to get some killer deals. And if the trend that I have heard about keeps up, this expo should be one for the record books.
