[NIB]

While I always look forward to the Mass show and I hope my schedule offers me the time to drive up.Especially to see all the folks from here All good people..
It won't be the same without John Habs there.
He was worth the price of admission...
Without a doubt he would want us to enjoy ourselves so I guess thats what we do..
It certainly will be weird..
I think we should buy a Table in his memory..
So...Is there gonna be a plug building section this yr..???
That was fun when it was in the old place..

I would be up for that. I was thinking that would be nice especially for the RISSA show. I'm in for some bucks to support either.

To all interested in a Habs Memorial at the show,

I am no longer the Committee Chair and am only serving as a "mentor" this year. That being said, If S-B, an independant group of anglers etc. etc. approach MSBA about a respectful and classy memorial, I am sure there would be no charge for the space. MSBA puts up/displays it's archives every year to remember our sport's history. I have already been looking through the MSBA photo albums for a pic to be turned B&W, have blown up and added to our pics of Stan Gibbs, Bob Pond, Ted Williams etc.

Please speak amongst yourselves and when ready, contact me directly and we could move forward.

The new venue sounds great!

While it was nice to see Gillette, the Frozen Razor, last winter and the seminars were very good, the place seemed very disjointed to me.
It had sort of a sterile feel, and was not very inviting. Sounds like a more attendee friendly, exhibitor friendly location.

The distance is no problem for me as I would drive hundreds of miles to attend the MSBA Winter Show. I live on the NShore and cannot think of a better reason to go to Easton. Never seen the campus, and it sounds like the food problem will be resolved. Nice move supporting local youth sports, since the school systems can't seem to figure out how to support themselves.

Am looking forward to meeting some more of the faces here and would be willing to help with any setting up or breaking down that is needed. I'll prolly already be a MSBA member by the time of the Show, as I am seriously considering joining your fine group of anglers.

Be that as it may, congrats on finding the new place and good luck with the rest of the plans as this year's show comes to fruition.
