The officers and board of the OKTA would like to announce the 2008 judges lineup for our convention.  Don & Jessica Stevens of AL will be judging whitetails (Don), gameheads and life-size mammals (Jess).  Danny Owens of TX will be judging birds and Jeff Mourning of CO will be judging Fish, Reproductions & Reptiles.  Each will present a seminar in their specific field as well as judge.  Mitch Webb of AR and Randy Life of Jonas are also scheduled to present seminars.  The president's challenge for 2008 will be trout and salmon species.  Hopefully, everyone can make plans to join us for this awesome even.  For more information, see:  www.oklahomataxidermistsassociation.com  THANKS!

Bad news, Don & Jessica Stevens have had to cancel.  I will post more information when it is available.

Bryan Eppley (OH) & Biil Yox (NY) will replace Don & Jessica.

This convention is a little over a month away.  We have added a few other suppliers to the list, including Wildlife Gallery and Archie Phillips Supply.  Remember, June 26th.  I have brochures if you need one mailed to you.  E-mail me your physical address and I will mail you one.

The show is coming up June 26th.  Call the hotel to make reservation if you are coming.  Remember, it is cheaper to pre-register, than to pay at the desk the first day.

Less than one week away.  I had to switch seminar #1 and #3, due to travel conflicts.  Hope to see everyone there.  We have the highest number of pre-registered mounts we have had in years.  It is looking to be a great show.
