    Continuing with the theme of "trying to do the best we can to get info out until the website is updated" I have posted all the pages of the Show Newsletter at our FACEBOOK page. You can see them all there and get all of the info. Click on photos and then pick albums...you can't miss it. Take it to fullscreen mode to read it better if you need.

    Jim, thanks for posting all of this .
    We would like to invite everybody to our show, its building up to be another great one !!
    There are lots of great seminars (that I wish I could see !! LOL) lined up again this year !! And once again we will have the OTA Game Show. That was a lot of fun last year. And with the response we got after last year, we decided to do it again. So study up on everything taxidermy and come participate.

    This was posted to the OTA Facebook but just in case the hotel cutoff for the room block is tomorrow. The host hotel is where everything is at so its the best place to stay and take advantage of the show.
