one Little thing i didnt like at the show....and it's not a big deal...
but, i had hoped to leave my winter coat in the car.....but had to wear it because it was way to brisk (for spring) to stand in line (outside )
with it not on...(i have a cold wanting to take root)

no biggy though...i was glad i had it "afterwards" because the door where "they let you in....to enter" isn't the door your let
out from....on the other far end of the building.

I think the MSBA guys did a great job with what they had to work with. The place in my opinion is not setup for a show like that. Here is what I thought was wrong: The lighting was low in some sections and the ceiling was also low. I almost broke a Quatum rod tip on the ceiling....the rep gave me the harry eye. I thought the very loud PA announcements while speakers were talking was very rud ( 2 or 3 times), they could have waited for the end which was on the ??:30 mark. The show was missing vendors like Penn, Van staal, shimano. Also what happened to the wood turning? The entry fee was twice as much in past years. I also talked to almost all the vendors and most of them were not happy with their setup areas. On the good side it was great to see alot of S-B members again, Some great deals were had if you looked close enough. If I had to rate this show with the last 6 I have made the 3 hour drive for it would rate at the bottom.
