Danbury Show

[steelhead]

Just got back from the Danbury Show. Very lightly attended. Some empty booths.... Didn't even have to wait in line for lunch! I hear Saltwater Edge won't be at the Marlborough Show....

I noticed that also. Sage is missing in action. Powell has decided not to attend Somerset. I think the fees have made it cost prohibitive.
I guess there are too many shows for a very small audience, Also, the speakers are the same giving the same talks every year.

I like the Danbury show because there aren't the usual crowds to deal with. You can walk around comfortably and tie a fly with Bob Popovics or cast with Lefty without waiting in line. I work for the Sound School in New Haven and was actually working. I brought a vanload of kids from our after-school fishing program. Very nice day on the job!

We've got bigger fish to fry this month...

Announcement coming soon...

I've heard that Marlborough and even Somerset still have booth space. Not a good sign for the shows, it used to be you had to get your deposit in quickly just to get in. They've been fading for a while imo, so I'm not really surprised. Gotta shake up your line up every once in a while, it's been the same old same old for a long time. Our fly tying/plug building fair will be taking place Feb. 18th, details will be posted soon on our website.
