Man, have you ever been to Cleveland in January ?

I plan on being there, bright eyed and bushy tailed! If we are still as slow as we are now, I'll probably bring my lead tech too.

Not too worried about the weather, as we will be inside.

Eric told me its a short trip to the casino, so I may be able to get on the new craps tables at the Horseshoe casino!!!!!

Looking forward to meeting, Dirk.

Hey, looks like I made a good post. LT,if Cleveland in January is anything like Wisconsin in December, it will be a cakewalk! Dave, if you're really serious about meeting Dirk, you might want to take up gambling. Dave, keep working on PJ. Since his mother and I are both going, he won't have a lot of free babysitting anyway. Besides, my wife always liked him best. ( Don't tell the girls )

This is trapperpaw using Tim Julien's account. We are doing a little recreational trapping with Eric Arnold. In discussing the importance of training, networking, the importance of good friends and in celebrating 19 years since the birth of this seminar we have agreed to the following. Make your reservation between now and January 12 and mention trapperman or Robb Russell and still get the early bird discount. (I'll take care of the difference). The only other requirement is to participate in the round table on the 21st during the seminar where I will have an opportunity to learn from you.
I can't do anything about the hotel discount. You have to mention the seminar and register by 1-5-13.
I plan on staying after the seminar ends on the 22nd and if enough people want to we'll have another round table as I think the social event is as important as the training. If not many participate in the second round table maybe we could do the table at fishbone and blues a very nice eatery in Cleveland.
I am just getting started on this. I plan to hustle several door prizes from vendors.
If any vendors read this post and are not going to be able to make it You can go ahead and commit, Bob, Phil??:-)
We all need to take a friend or family member get away from home etc. After the round table I will be renewing peoples wedding vows if anyone has been thinking about doing that.
Ohio is a one man one woman or one woman one man state if anyone had different ideas I will not be able to do that.

Personally I am dealing with health issues CTS nerve damage to my left hand and not sure if I will be out of Occupational Therapy in time. I definitely can't carry luggage or drive long distances yet. Typing sucks too.

I am not ruling out attendance just won't know much until Jan gets here.

I will have some vendor gifts for GIVEAWAY I will be mailing to Eric either way!

Robb; I hope you can make it. I would like to meet you in person.

The girlfriend said I was suppose to take her down south for a vacation so I guess we will see everyone in Cleveland.

Ron,
Don't forget your sun screen I know your skin isn't used to being that close to the equator.

Hey Ron, looking forward to seeing you and yours again. It's been a while.

Good talkin to ya Eric, was good catching up. Mailed my check yesterday. Look forward to seeing everyone.
Kinda put off everything training wise since James died. No better time to start back.

Just a quick update on the seminar. Crosman has donated a Benjamin 392 air rifle with pellets and a Crosman hat for our main door prize.

Just confirmed: Wildlife Solutions has donated a signed fiddle by the legendary Charlie Daniels with a letter of authenticity to be used, along with additional donated items from our vendors, in an event fund raiser for the Connecticut, Ohio, New York, and Wisconsin State Associations. Proceeds will be divided based on the number of attending individuals from each association.

Participation in the fund raising event is restricted to those attending. Several seats are still available but we're almost sold out. So make plans to join us in tropical Cleveland, Ohio, network with fellow NWCOs and show your support by participating in the fund raising effort.

Awesome!

So Eric, just so some of us can be identified, you will need to make name tags with Red Ryder, Proline, trapperpaw, etc.

Devil went down to Georgia and I am going to win his fiddle in Cleveland, hot [Please excuse my language... I'm an idiot]!!!

Yeah, Proline's wife is a speaker, so I can see where he would need a excuse for fiddling around.

How do I win the fiddle?

Does anyone know If the airport is within walking
Distance to the hotel? And is the conference held in the
Hotel?

I will be at the hotel Saturday and all day Sunday if anyone would care to get together before the seminar.

Kasey,

The hotel, Crowne Plaza Cleveland Airport, is about 3.5 miles from Cleveland/Hopkins airport. The hotel offers a free shuttle service so there is no need to walk or get a cab.

I cannot guarantee that I will have room for walk-ins based on how many more registrations we get in the next week. To ensure a seat, I highly recommend registering beforehand.
