Always, tough to tell. I thought last year we were going to have issues with parking, issues with being able to move in the room, never happened. We had a good day in terms of weather (no snow, 38degrees F) and altered the room for better movement of people, no problems here either.

I'm trying to keep the event in line with it's name and deliver an interactive experience for young and old, inexperienced and experienced alike, the speakers alone is worth the drive like Robby said. The hardest part is staffing the event asking a lot from the club to deliver and volunteer, and asking them again to give demos. I've sandwiched the club demo table between DZ and Charley Soares in hopes that if theyre not in conversations themselves, they may weigh in on the demo conversation. I'm also asking the vendors themselves to participate in the demonstration aspect of the event, some of which happens naturally.

In addition to the speakers, we will have a dedicated table set up with a lathe that several guys will give presentations on, a dedicated fly and bucktail tying table same deal here, and a CSA demo table for various aspects on surfcasting. and guarenteed BS'n

I've always wanted to make this show but it seems the weather or scheduling keeps me from coming. Hopefully this year I can make it. Long ass drive from merrimack nh though.
