That's awesome they were able to video the demo's. I wonder what will happen with the videos. I'm sure that's some hi quality stuff when one considers the incredible list of experts on the demo roster.

As to videos, we will wait to see how that goes. We need permission from each presenter to agree as this will become legal property. As of right now the WTA owns the video. We also need to find out what it would cost to edit, format, ship etc. Certainly if one had a known higher potential volume of those sold per unit costs drop. This process could take some time and may well not be completed with many of the unknowns at this time. Nick keeps the original for a specific amount of time.
It will be my task to investigate all options, costs and roadblocks and get permission from the WTA leaders to move forward or not.

You may have said hi to some friends. But you weaseled out of buying ice cream, again. Even when your friends were standing in line with you. Cheapo!



Weaseled out your the ones that weaseled out. I bought last time. It was Kelly's time this go round. And I didn't see him open his wallet LOL

I think a DVD of the demo presenters would be a good fund raiser for the FTA. I would be happy to sign a release or whatever it would take to allow my demo footage to be used by the FTA and I think most of the demo presenters would also. If anyone decided not to, they could just edit that portion out of the DVD.

Also a big thank you to Bryce, he certainly put together a nice line up of demos. And thank you to all the hard working volunteers who put the show together. This does not happen without a lot of time and effort, both before and during the convention. Everyone at the show was in a pretty good mood considering how hot it was, and with much of the fur market being depressed. Certainly we are all in the same boat, as supply dealers, trappers, and fur buyers we are all waiting and hoping for the market to turn around.

Thanks for doing your mink demo Gerald. I will work on the videos. It is unfortunate that the information that was supposed to been shared with me before the convention was not and I have to do this all after the fact.

For those of you who were at the off-site banquets, I heard there were some emotional moments and tributes to Chick Andres' 20+ years of service as President of the Fur Takers. If anyone was at those events, please, by all means, give us all some details here!

I was at both and yes there was a lot of emotion at those events, not just for Chick but also for Charlie Parker and his family members and the induction of several FTA Trappers College instructors into the FTA fur takers Trapper College. Lot of good things going on with the FTA at this time.

If you are an FTA member the August issue will have the photos and the details for both the sessions. I know at the Thursday night event the WTA Chick was given a hand made bear trap mad by Ray Teske (spelling) which is the same as the one sold at the auction.
