Well a few anyway

We walked past this trailer once then I went back to see what was inside

Seen 3 booths like this and several others with the same banner

My Most favorite pic no people in it

Snapped 1 random pic as my batteries were going dead

Oh yes PM had a booth there also both sides of the walkway and atleast 3 spots long but they were in the back row

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r300/bnccont/SS850314.jpg)

When I looked at what they done for the kids I almost  :puke: and they called it the kids Activities table
I didn't even take a pic of it.The table had some small plastic toys on it

I met a few people that I know from the boards and seen a few that I already met but haven't seen in a while
Looked at some calls I would give a fair price for and some I wouldn't give a plug nickle for
Chris and I had a good time there just looking around and chatting about this and that

I did buy 1 call from Jay Nistetter

Looks like quite a spread again, thanks for sharing it.

Did you intentionally take a pic of the back of ragncagn's cranium in that 4th pic  :alscalls:

I hope you didnt let Curtis near the Puppet Masters booth with the small toys on it. One year three of their moderators choked on those toys.  :doh2:

Bill,

Doesn't look like there were many people there.  Did anyone talk about the number of people that were there?  I originally had hopes to make it down, but had to go last weekend and worked the Fish and Game this weekend.

There was some talk of the expo being there next year because of the number of people that did show up.
That came from Brent Rheub himself

Friday was a slow day and Saturday was booming,at the time I was taking pics there was 2 seminars going on and both of them corners were packed full

The Parking lot was full but that was shared with the deer and turkey expo.I went outside for a smoke and stood between the 2 buildings and the line of people coming and going were pretty much steady

Rhuebarb was telling Ohioans what they wanted to hear. He is associated with PM therefore he is not to be believed or trusted & I wasn't even there.  :nono: :nono:  The more I think about it the more I'm glad I didn't go now.

Coyote Kate & I went & I had a great time! :thumb2:
Seen people I wanted see & spoke to! Randy Anderson, Gerald Stewart, Jeff Lewis, Tuck aka THarris, KRay, 222shooter, Longhair, Frogman, Hillbilly, BearmanRic, & Bill & his ornery wife.

Bought a Kanati Tek  caller, a couple T-shifts, a bumper sticker, burrito & a beer.  :laf:

Got to look at & see a lot of things I wanted to see, such as how really short Glenn Guess is. :alscalls:  When people tell ya he's short, that's an understatement. :alscalls:   Get it? Understatement?

Only wish I could have met more of the brethren from here that were there that I didn't know to recognize. :sad:
And I wish CK & I had worn lanyards w/  many of my custom calls. :innocentwhistle:

I went and stayed all weekend.  Wish I could have recognized some of you guys there.  Did get to talk to Frogman for a while.  The calling Championships were good.  I set through everybodies seminars.  Some of them were really good.  A couple sounded more like a Foxpro Advertisement more than a seminar.  I really liked John Paul Moody's.  He gave his on bringing them up close and I thought did an excellent job.  He is from Tenn so his was more Eastern directed.  Took lots of pics.  Some look just like Bills.  I did get to talk to all the Pro's.

Me and Les Johnson from Predator Quest.  (Helluva nice guy)

Of course Randy Anderson
(http://i568.photobucket.com/albums/ss124/denverdf/295.jpg)

Mark Zepp (Helluva big guy, Im 6'4")
(http://i568.photobucket.com/albums/ss124/denverdf/297.jpg)

Talk to Byron South to, just didnt take a pic.  Overall had a good time and learned a few things.  One thing though, there was pretty much nothing there for the kids.

Nothing to be sorry about. And if I remember right, several call makers do show up to these, but they generally dont do so under any type of affiliation. They usually have their own little section in the building.

Post by: Bills Custom Calls on March 25, 2010, 04:34:39 AM
There were several call makers there and they were scattered throughout the expo

Jim,

I checked the FnF Corporate Jet log and it seems that someone did use the Jet to get to Columbus that weekend.  There are also charges on the FnF credit card for a limo for three days, a suite at the Hilton, and more food that you would ever believe.  Since it wasn't me, who was this?
