Post by: Dave Pagel on January 16, 2007, 10:43:00 AM: It is in Kalamazoo 1/26 - 1/28. It is a nice get together that I never miss. There are a lot of the custom bowyers and traditional suppliers in attendance. I believe the Great Northern website has more information.

Post by: Dave Worden on January 16, 2007, 07:26:00 PM: I'll be bringing a bunch of guys from Clarkston on Saturday. Last year I tried to remember who was going to be there and look them up, but I promptly forgot who was there. Maybe I'll write it down this year! I'm thinking about bringing a TradGangers sign and sticking it on the wall by one of the tables in the snack area so that we could get together and chat while resting our feet. What do you think?
