Andy and Bruce.... Andy., I will be back up there on Sunday and will stop by and say hello. Family obligations tomorrow. Heading back up late tomorrow night. Bruce, enjoy but be careful heading up there.... or over there... expecting some nasty weather.

I am just back form Danbury., thank someone its only about a 1 hr drive from my house. I have to say, today was a huge disapointment to almost everyone I spoke with. There were more vendors there than total people all day. Its a shame because it really could be a great show. They have really good people doing seminars. No clicky crap. Just real good people. Why more "civilians" dont show up? who knows. I don't think much publicity goes into it.

Oh and for some Haha's... Guess who was stationed directly across from the FUDR booth... the long lost MAYFLY.

Andy and Larry,

We cancelled today, it was 28 degrees and raining at 7am this morning. Not good. Hopefully we'll be there tomorrow. See ya.

Certainly the weather was a factor, but I think this show is doomed. It is just too close to the Somerset Show in terms of timing. If you were only going to go to one show, wouldn't you go to the Somerset Show, even if you lived near Danbury?

To bad, as the people that run it have worked hard.

Big Spinner:

To answer your question, No I would rather go to Danbury. Danbury may be smaller in size, but it's a very personal show where you can take your time and cast a rod, sit with the tyers and see and touch items and talk to the vendors. Somerset is a large here they come let's give them a little and take their money. Also not to mention that you can at times barely be able to walk the isles or see things that you want without getting ran over. Plus the tyers and vendors do not have the ime or patience to help you or give you the attention you need in buying items due to to many people to attend to. Danbury and the tying symposium are my to favorite shows. Just my opinion.
