I think I'll be doing a walk through Friday or Saturday.

Hopefully the weather behaves for visitors and especially for vendors. Vendors invest so much to be there and this weekend is infamous for record cold and record snowstorms. Mother Nature has a bad habit of ramping up just in time for Marlboro.

The Blizzard of '05 and being stranded in a hotel, doing zero business on Sunday and very little Saturday, the show staff NOT allowing us to pack up and go home to take care of family and friends, a drive home that took 8 hours in a busted rental truck, and more, has permanently scarred my perception of fly fishing shows in late January.

Oh, and missing many quality Patriot's games. I love that too.

The show staff has done quite a bit to make me no longer want to go to that show. I would rather drive 4 hours to SOMERSET NJ than drive 10 min to the MARLBORO show.

Same staff. But I agree, Somerset is a much stronger show.

They've really cut down access to non-profits like UTF, NEFF, and such. It's been a real hassle. I stopped going when they started charging us for a table.
The vendors where always excellent no complaints there. I just did like the way we were handled.
