Kalamazoo, MI at the Kalamazoo Co. fair grounds. There is usually something on the Great Northern Bow web site with info and venders list. I am not sure if that has started to shape up for 2011 yet or not.

I went last year for the first time and plan on going back this year.There are several bow vendors there with a small range to try their bows out.There is also a guy there that you can check a bow in that you want to sell and they will do it for you.Several other vendors selling clothing (used and new) and archery related items--broadheads,quivers,arrows,tabs, gloves,strings,targets,etc.Just about anything you would want.An old equipment archery display on was also on site.Also some seminars are usually available.A couple of the traditional archery magazines were also represented.Last year there were a few of the well known people within the traditional archery community there selling their books (Barry and Gene Wensel,Mike Mitten,maybe some others).I am sure I am forgetting some other things and people that were there.It isnt really in a huge spread out area from what I recall and is held inside as being in Michigan in Jan. can get pretty cold.I felt it was well worth the 7.5 hour drive each way to attend.Hopefully I will be able to make it again.

Steve, I will be at the show, but I won't be setting up the Prairie Traditions booth. I decided to do the Waterloo Iowa show instead this winter and then set up at Compton in June to cover the MI crowd. But there will no doubt be plenty of great vendors there. Kazoo is a great time, and I'm sure looking forward to it.
