    It was great to meet everyone at the show It was my first trip to the Indiana show everyone was super friendly and made me feel at home looking forward to next year I had a great time, Monty I donated the toothpick holders Send me your address if you need some, I will send you a few free samples, I really appreciate all the great fish info and you sharing your knowledge
     
  7. I'll throw in my 2 cents. I had a great time at the show and think the association done a wonderful job putting on the show. My hats off to all the board members and their hard work to pull it all together. It was good to see more vendor participation this year and what seminars I was able to attend was very informative. Didn't get to meet to many new people but the ones I did have a privilege to meet were full of knowledge that they was more than happy to share at no expense.
     
  8. Had a great time, and met some nice people. I will post pics of the mounts at a later time..........I'm tired. :)

    I had a wonderful time at the AIT show. This was my 3rd year and looking forward to next year. The information I get just talking to other taxidermist and the seminars are priceless. I hope to go to the World, if not I will see you all next year. Thanks to our President and Board Members for a great show. I also want to thank anyone was willing to give me more knowledge.

    OK
    I personally want to say, "thank you" to the Indiana Association. Thursday of last week, I did not know a sole in Indiana. I don't know if I have ever been to a convention where I did not know at least one person. Today, I have numerous new friends in Indiana. I got to meet many of the people who frequent this forum. I was treated with respect and I felt like I was part of the family. My impression of the AIT is grand and the hospitality was unbelievable. What a great association and thank you for having me out. I give the AIT an "A+" in running a convention. Great Job.

    Oh, congratulations Monty on that "smoking" crappie. So far, it is the best mounted crappie I have ever ran across. Great job.

    Todd Good to see you there. Just remember me and you and a fat tom turkey this year ;D
     
  20. Alright guys and gals, bear with me. I'm uploading some pics to photobucket now, and will post the pics as soon as I can figure out how to do so. And I apologize that I won't be able to do your mounts justice by posting the artist, but maybe if you want to you can let people know which one was your piece. Also, the TAHR one the WASCO by the end of the show. The turkey with a sweet base had already won the WASCO previously, and was accidentally awarded again.

    Let's give this a try
