I never made it to the NTA at Lima, OH, but I was at the NTA in Owatonna, MN, so I think that is where the Trapperman name tags were. They could also have been at Lima, but I think they were done at least a couple of times.

I'm still waiting to hear myself. The NTA folks have the numbers. Hopefully that info will be presented soon.

Preliminary estimate of a little over 3,000 attendees at the convention, not including tailgaters and vendors. Final numbers supposed to be coming this weekend.

Seems about right... was the lowest attendance I've been to in awhile, or maybe ever. Fur market I'm sure, no reflection on MTA.... no I take that back, lol. Some people might have stayed if the walk to the bathroom wasn't half a mile 10 times a day, LOL

The bathroom situation left something to be desired for the campers. Especially us tent campers. A few porta-potties spread out would have been MUCH better. I noticed I was stepping lightly, but quickly, trying to cover some ground, on a couple of occasions.

You obviously missed Hamburg and Pecatonica. Much better attendance last week than either of those.

There were more vendors and tailgaters there at Pecatonica than there were attendees! Can't speak for NY, wasn't there!

3,000? I think they dang near get that many at a Pennsylvania state trappers convention.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

If they would have a convention in the Redneck Riviera, Gulf Shores, Pensacola, etc., a southern convention could draw a crowd like those up north. You would have to give a reason for the northern folks , not the ones who regularly travel to conventions, to use it as a vacation. Down there it may be even hotter than Springfield but there's a beach to play on and deep sea fishing to boot.
BTW I thought the weather was nice in Springfield not real hot or humid.

Why you have to push recruitment during the high fur market years so it can carry you through the bad times but what do I know?

Those 3000 folks at MO were a great crowd and without being super busy you could have some quality conversations and enjoy the show. I left with a lot of found memories from the Springfield convention.

I thought the weather was wonderful! Way cooler then it was at home when I left. It was my first nta and I thought it was pretty cool deal. If this was a small turn out i need to attend a good one then.
