P&Y Who is going?

[Robhood23]

Just wondering who is headed to the pope and young convention in April! It would be fun to have a tradgang get together!

[Rooselk]

I received the convention materials in the mail a few days ago. I'm seriosly thinking of attending.

[AkDan]

I would like to go....can a nonmember go?

[Whip]

Dan, I don't see anything in the packet that says you must be a member to attend.  But if you think enough of the group to come all the way from Alaska I would sure encourage you to join as an associate - it is a good group.    

The convention is not that far from home for me - pretty sure I will be going.  It would be very cool to meet some other Trad Gangers!

Where is the banquet at for the Pope and Young Club?

[AkDan]

Whip, I'll be home (mn) at that time chasing turkeys.  After talkign to Jack and findout out the banquet was there this year I dont think i could pass it.  You're right I shoudl join, and I should renew my pbs membership also.  Been slacking the last handful of years  :(

[LITTLEBIGMAN]

Its in my back yard this year, you can bet I'll be there. If you go be sure to visit the P Y  museum too in Chattfield!

[Herdbull]

I plan to attend and have the first ever book signing table at the conveinien with Gene and Barry.

[YORNOC]

I'm not into the P+Y scoring of animals, but I would go in a heartbeat just to meet all the great guys and girls involved. It is a great organization.

[Greg Szalewski]

My wife and I will be there. It should be a good one it being the 50th aniversary.

[Ken Taylor]

A year ago I was sure I was going to make the pilgrimage but now with plans to build a house in the spring and a limited budget... things are not looking too good.

I really do want to go though so I'll check the old wool sock under the bed and between the mattress too.

Correction: P&Y website is  www.pope-young.org

I am been in Denver last year and it was fun,you'll meet a lot of good guys.
I am not sure I can make it for 2011, a little to far and expensive for me.

I would patronize an organization that was a little more "trad friendly".  At the Madison, WI convention they slapped every trad memeber in the face.  I quit.  My money goes to PBS or Compton.  There's a world of difference between a PBS convention and a P&Y convention.

Todd,I missed that one.  What was done to "slap our faces" ?

[Robhood23]

Todd, I to would like to know, Thanks!

[Robhood23]

I am really suprised not alot of guys on here are attending! If anyone else is going and wants to meet up just let me know!

[silvertip73]

I would like to go and take some of it in, I have never been to one before and it is in MN.

[Bowwild]

My hunting buddy and I will be there at least through mid-afternoon on Friday.  Then we're headed west to bow hunt turkey in Nebraska.

I've all of them for the past 10 years.  I like looking at the exhibits and I usually have something to do for the Club.

I've only attended the banquet once though. Quite by chance that year I was seated by a western bowhunter I've been reading about for many years. He was a more down-to-earth fellow that I thought he would be.
