ICRBE Day 1

This was one of, if not the best day of a show ever. The show was well attended, and there were a lot of vendors who seemed to be very happy at the end of teh day. The NERBs - as always we had a blast. PRactical joke after practical joke - each one better than the last. Will fill in the specifics when I get more time, I've gotten 5 1/2 hours of sleep the last 2 nights, I'm still wide awake now with a 6AM wake up call. I truley love eveything about The Show.
CAn't wait to be the first one in teh building and one of the last ones out again - like a gym rat in basketball

I’ll have to agree billy. This is the best year I’ve ever had at the icrbe. Absolutely the funniest times and productive in learning from everyone. I absolutely loved meeting everyone that came this year. A lot of new faces at the show and banquet. Between the nerbs, southern rod builders and others we have become friends with many people on social media of Facebook and to get to meet some new people from all over the world and to finally get to meet them face to face was a treat. Thanks to all. Safe travels friends.

It was nice to meet your son Wes. I love seeing the kids at the show, and seeing their faces when they tell someone how they enjoy fishing wiht their Dad. I'm glad that I can bring that out of kids, I know it means a lot to teh parents, and kids just make everyone around smile and feel good. Will & Bill!!!!!!! lol

Once again, another well attended show even with the messy weather on Sat. throughout the day.

Many thanks to all the vendors that come together for such an event all in one place to compare products.

NERBS booth was incredible with the display of rods they brought and with the planning for the past year was 100%. Hats off!

SRB had new products here in the states to look at from unique saltwater/freshwater blanks and Italian machined reels for the salt enthusiast to handle first hand.

Wes, X 100% above what you said.

Glad to meet David Boyle from Australia as him and his wife came a distance and took time out of their booth to troubleshoot our laptop with VisualWrap. Thanks!

Tom, much gratitude as always to you for your effort in organizing this for the craft and to make mention that anyone in the mid-Atlantic region is lucky to be in close proximity to an event such as been featured so long.
