Title: Eastern sports and outdoor show PA.
Post by: call man on January 21, 2013, 05:15:36 PM
It sure stinks that the show might not go on.
I am a vendor  I am a turkey call maker.
I am a very small company just me and my wife and my 11 year old son.
We are not like most vendors if I lose two thousand I will be out of bus
I am stuck on what to do. It sure [censored] to watch your dreams go down the drain.
Try to look in your boys eyes and tell him you failed.

I wouldnt look at it as failing, call man.  Your not really failing anything. Granted it's most likely going to keep you from income you would otherwise have but it's far from your fault.

We know who to thank for this, and as much as I do not want to see anyone directly crippled by whats happening to the show. I think it's a strong and much needed testament by these big vendors such as Cabelas and Kinsey's Outdoors,  and some others.

That show can go on without Cabelas, but it is a HUGE statement for them to boycott the whole thing like they are because the organizers refuse to allow the display or sale of assault weapons.
I'm proud of them for doing that.

Just got a letter from FoxPro.  They are also boycotting the show!  I already deleted it or I would post it.
