We're revving up for our show - I'm getting phone calls daily.

Our registration forms will be out shortly, but here's a quick rundown of the show.
Idaho is no longer an NTA affiliated state association. However, our show will be NTA sanctioned, so NTA members can receive points.

In addition, the ITA encourages its members to become educated about current NTA issues so they can make an informed decision about participation.

May 31st, June 1st, June 2nd
Holiday Inn, Pocatello, Idaho (note: 10' ceiling restriction)

Skip Skidmore judging fish, birds, reptiles
Dean Schulte judging mammals

Seminars:
Dean Schulte: Open Mouth Cougars
Skip Skidmore: Artistic Bases
Gary Powell: Turning a whitetail wall mount into a whitetail pedestal mount
Jenny Esplin: Using a color wheel to blend custom colors
Children's seminar

Contact: Dino or Amy Hugon at 208-462-3686 or dinostaxidermy@frontiernet.net for information or to be added to our registration mailing list.

We always have a great show, and this year should be no exception. Hope to see old friends and meet new ones.
