I volunteered helping the vendors in at 7 am this morning. Snow was coming down pretty good. I was quickly sent over to help out Johnny on the history table. It was pretty neat to hear him talk about how his sister handstitched all the letters on to the MSBA banner. Now that is dedication (how many letters in Massachusetts?). When I first went over Johnny needed someone to stand on a table to hang some photos and he thought I was too heavy. We had a pretty good laugh when I told him he would have a hard time finding someone under 200 lbs in this club. There was a 54 pounder on display (down the table from Charlie's) and someone asked Johnny the name of the fish and he said "I just call him stupid" (for getting caught). I do have to say I was very impressed with this venue. When I first walked through the doors a smile came to my face because I was was so impressed seeing row after row of vendors. If you haven't stopped by yet and need that mid-winter fishing fix it is a great take. I am going tomorrow with my son. I volunteered a little but my hat goes off to the guys and gals that put in countless hours to pull this thing off - GREAT JOB!!! - THANK YOU!!!!
