If room is available, would you consider adding any general fishing tackle dealers?

Bill,

No, sorry. We're having no trouble filling the 40,000 square foot hall with specialty rod building dealers. I'm not sure that adding general fishing tackle dealers would anything that could cause anyone to travel any distance. I'm sure you probably have various fishing tackle events in your neck of the woods each year.

About 50. We should get that or more this year. We've already sold 68 booths. I have changed the layout a bit in order to accommodate a full 80 booths this time.

I can`t wait! I have only been to the one in 2009 and I thought it was good. This one I am sure will by far surpass it.

2010 was a good deal larger than the 2009 event (which set a record itself). I believe 2011 will continue to be even larger and better. It just keeps on growing.
