See you all there.

It's the people you cross paths with more than the event itself.  I'd love to try to go to reconnect with old friends and meet some new ones I've gotten to "know" online...

Nice facility, lots of top trad archery businesses, and some really, really fine folks.  That's what may make me drive 6 hours.   :thumbsup:

Corn Stalker, you've got to pay attention, man!  How could one live so close to the show and not know about it??  Oh, I just saw.....you're a newbie.  Well, you won't be one in February!!!

Mapquest says 6.5 hours for us to get to Kzoo. I have been there several times but that was a few years ago. Booked the motel room last night. Always a good time.  ;)

This will be my 2nd time there and am looking forward to renewing old contacts...my two sons and I are flying 2,000 miles across country and then renting a car and driving 4-5 hrs but it is worth it to me after meeting some of the outstanding people last time...Bob Morrison, John Havard and Larry, Tim Cosgrove. It is agreat atmosphere and the Saturday "buzz" is great fun!!
