sportsmans show

[eman]

FFT and SFA
It was my pleasure to meet y'all today. Wish y'all would have been there this morning , I brought 10 lbs of boudin for our sponsors and marsh works was the only ones found .They raved about the stuff.
As for the show .
I have attended it since it was moved to lamar dixon and to me it has been pretty close to the same every year.
This year there were a few less of the big multi item dealers but more smaller set ups . last year there was a group from tejas that had some serious wading stuff .They weren't here this year.
marsh works has a prime spot just to the left when you enter the main door in A building.
i don't hunt anymore so was not really interested in those booths.
Duddley ,hybrid flurrys ,okuma, american rodsmiths who are allways there were there.
There is a couple that raffle off a REAL nice trailer bbq pit / smoker every year who is on the left b4 you go into A building $5 a chance .
All proceeds go to st. jude. If you can stop by and support the cause.
Seemed to be a few more booths that were promoting their own brands of bbq sauces and seasoning this year . I don't use salt and no one seems to make salt free seasonings . (to exspensive, as salt is usually 40 - 50 % of the container and cheap) so i don't stop at most of them.
Even showed up at the La, sportsman booth sporting my SC rag and there is no one there exsept salesman that is a contract subscription seller for the mag.
All in all for $2 parking and $8 entry ,It was worth my time and money even if just to meet a few new folks and some old friends and kill a windy day.

I did notice more smaller companies representing which was good. but I guess I was really disappointed because out of the 4-5 booths I planned on purchasing from and the main reason I went, none of them were there.

Wanted to talk with the guys from last year with the good heavy duty fish cleaning tables, the aluminum welders that were in the hunting building last year(been wanting a rod rocket set up for my truck, wanted one of the leather crocodile dundee hats for working around the camp. I also wanted to get some prices on some deer stands and possibly buying a feeder or at least get some design ideas.
