Found it. Thanks 4runr.

I am one excited newbie.

Stop by the St. Joe River Bows booth Cornstalker and say hi!! I should be there mostly plus the MBH booth or the MLA booth.

I think it takes us about 6 hours to get there.
See you all there.
Bill

I am one of the luckier ones. Only 3 hours for me.  Bob

ok, dont shoot me.... i would love to attend something like this event. BUT, what is there thats so amazing as to make people drive 12hrs???

i would have to say i would limit myself to about a 4 hr drive and thats max!!

does anyone have pics of this show??

gaff

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.

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!!!

just talked to jsimon, and we will both be making our first trip to kalamazoo,  just wish it wasn't such a long drive  

LOL! Yeah Portland is quite the distance!! How far out of Charlotte are ya?

I'd like to go again but that would be a dang long drive by yourself! about 6 hours from here. Jason

i live about 15 or maybe 20 minutes north of Charlotte, I work in the Charlotte area quite a bit

Arwin, we gotta meet up. I'll be coming down Saturday for the day, should be there early afternoon.

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.

I should be there all weekend at the St. Joe booth. Come over and fling some arrows with me.  

Just made hotel reservations.  My first expo.  

7.5 hours from Southern Illinois (considered by the locals as a seperate state).  

TTT for the nomads!!!

Look forward to seeing a bunch of you at the expo this year and I want to thankyou all for supporting it and traviling for the weekend

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!!

hour and a half from me cant wait
