Title: Merry Christmas, and Kazoo bound!
Post by: akbowbender on December 25, 2011, 04:48:00 PM: Merry Christmas, everyone! Hope you all have a safe and happy holiday.

Now for Kazoo. I have talked to my wife about traveling to Kalamazoo for the expo, but I was thinking about doing it in a few years when she could travel with me when our daughter is off to college. She surprised me this Christmas with tickets to the 2012 expo. Yahoo! Don't know how much cash I'll have to buy goodies, but I hope to meet a few of you while I'm there.

I have a little planning to do. Two of my sisters live in Mt. Pleasant, and my parents and brother live in the U.P. in Iron River. I also need to make hotel reservation, etc. The trip will be here before I know it, so I best get busy.

There are five nearby hotels listed on the expo site. Can anyone make a recommendation on which is the best.

Thanks!

Looking forward to meeting you. Make sure you stop by and fondle the bows.

Oh, and I will be stopping by to take a look at your bows. I've never handled one. Just admired them on your site, and the few that have come up in the classifieds.
