Congrats MSBA. Great job, I can't wait!!

I know the Fishing and Hunting show up at the Rockingham Mall had the Hooter's Girls........any chance the Patriot Cheerleaders may be making an Appearance......:drool: :pop:

Any chance of a casting contest on the feild aiming through the up rights?

Lurch,

The 2006 Expo is gonna make last year look like a toilet. The new location is truely one of the best facilities you will ever see a fishing show located. The cushioned chairs in the two Seminar Theatres are more comfortable than in my house. Speaking of Seminars, we are not running 60 seminars with any Cahrter Captain that wants a free booth, our seminar schedule features both nationally recognized celebrity fishermen and local experts covering the information our customers want to hear. Next to the concession stand there is a pretty large area set up with highbacked chairs, tall round lounge tables and even giant relaxing couches for the enjoyment of our customers that spend the day and hang out with old friends. A close circuit TV network will be running in the resting areas showing some really cool fishing programming. The whole floor is carpeted and will not wear you out after walking around for hours.

Two final points...MSBA is not looking to be another 300 booth monster of a show. We are only trying to bring the local fishing community the quality event our customers are used to. At the MSBA Expo you will not see hunting guides, chewing tobacco, miracle cleaners and absolutely no one is going to stick a tear off pad in your face and ask you if you want to win somethning. Ours is a fishing show, period, no fleece, no dishes, nothing but fishes.

finally, yes we are $15 dollars at the door, but when you add in the free parking we are right around the same prices as all of the other shows 0n the circuit. I hope you choose to come check out the future of fishing Shows in new england.

Lurch....this venue will cost alot more than a mall to rent....don't you think?:cool: Costs go up.....door fee goes up.

I agree that the cost will go up but will the vendor cost go up as well or is the cost just being passed on to us (the consumers)?? If the costs are higher for the vendors we could see less discoounts on sweet fishing equipment.

Personally I dont care that it is at Gilette but if the prices are lower at the kingston mall I would have stayed there....

dont get me wrong, I am going and it is going to be cool but was Gilette necessary??

Ill be honest, if I had 15$ to spend on one show it would be the MSBA show for sure!!

double post...sorry.

That is true...with the free parking the cost of all shows are around 15$ anyway...disregard my messages.

I cant wait for the show as last years show was far and away the best show of the season!

and it just keeps getting better :hihi:

I look at it this way.

- MSBA Membership cost = $30.
- Show volunteers get in free, a $15 dollar value.

So I can support a great fishing club for a net cost of $15 for the year!

:jump:

Mike

sounds good Patrick
is it in the clubhouse on the TV camera side of the field or somewhere else?

You got to have the JERKY Guy.

15 is nothing to pay to go to the show . ya just make it an all day affair

Oh man...I'm all giddy inside! I might even tailgate before the doors open!!

:thanks: :happy: :happy: :happy:

You got to have the JERKY Guy.
Tell him to call me, or Patrick

You guys think Raider Ron, and VF are gonna step foot into Brady's house?? :pop: :angel: :hidin:

Don't worry about me, I'll be there !!!
Won't be the 1st time for me there, and yes I'll be wearing Raider colors !!!!

thanks for the info,,, maybe some of the pats will be there,,, can't wait for that

You mean Jim Popeil and his pockets fishermen booth wont be there, aw shucks Patrick. What about the other guy that sells the pans at the home show. He's ninety now but still smacks the pans together and says look doesn't dent.

Its probaly in the practice tent.

Its probaly in the practice tent.
Nope, it is in the stadium..Inside near the club house seats.:uhuh:
It is gonna be sweet:cool:

You got to have the JERKY Guy.

Don't worry John, Bassmaster will be there.:laughs:

Guys it is in the "Club Houst Atrium", not in the Field House. The Atrium is way nicer. !00per cent carpeting, a really cool concession/lounge for your resting (with a beverage) time. Seminar seatring on cushioned banquet style seats, Galss walls on etier side, views of the inner bowl of the stadium. This is not a big giant quality show like RI. The MSBA show is a fishing community event and will be that way in this new venue. We will keep the intimate feel and ambiance that makes our show what it is.

Oh yeah, no players. Sorry but this is a fishing show and needs to be that way. When we start making exceptions it is only a financial decision asway from adding alll the other stuff that we all complain about in the big shows. There will be some more suprises though, because teasing this thing up is so much fun.....

5 minutes from my house :kewl:

5 minutes from mine too! You in Foxboro Ron?
