There are several good events in the North and East, but it's one heck of a drive from Texas.

I'm spitballing here. What would be the best way to get there form CA, drive or fly into Grand Rapids
then rent a car. how cold is there to campout or get a hotel, I'm wondering how much this would
cost me. Have to add it all up $$$ and see what the weather looks like if I drive, and best place
to say in town. Flying cost around $340.00 so far.

The weather can be anywhere from 50 and rain and have seen very cold and blizzard conditions. So far this year it has been way above normal temps. There are several hotels close. I would do a google search to find one with a good rating and in your budget. I know a few that stay at the Residence Inn

Earl, there are several hotels in Kalamazoo within a couple miles of the expo, check them out as some will offer a discount for people going to the show.  Kalamazoo is roughly half hour straight south of Grand Rapids very easy to get there.  Safe travels if you make the trip.

The airfares just went up from yesterday by $200.00 now it's $540.00, I wonder what the hotels will do.
the old timer at the club said to me, you can buy a very nice recurve bow for the price of
going to Kalamazoo and there right, now that makes sense to me.  :o
