We have so many great seminars included for this year - Including the Hands On Seminar with Mike Rohanna (by reservation only). Our all day seminar on Thursday will be with Rick Krane as this true artist shows you how to mount fish from A-Z while showing you how to carve fish bodies and how to interpret fish anatomy.
We have a great line up of talented taxidermists willing to come out and share their secrets and techniques. Come out and be a part of the fun and festivities of our annual show.
We have lots of great events set up for our four day extravaganza and we look forward to showing you all a really great time.
Convention packets will be available for pick up at the Winter Membership Meeting and other packets will be mailed out by the 1st of February.
