Back in the shop and getting caught up after spending the weekend at the Wisconsin State Trappers' Convention in Antigo, WI. Such a great bunch of volunteers. As soon as we parked, we had at least four volunteers unload our entire trailer and put all our stuff at our booth. On Saturday, volunteers distributed box lunches to the vendors. It was great talking with everyone who stopped by our booth. Already signed up for next year and looking forward to seeing everyone again. After a very hot summer, nice cool temps, highs were in the 60s. Thanks to all the hard working folks who make this convention a success every year.

Gerald, I agree. Those folks did an impressive job making the convention a huge success. The volunteers went above and beyond.
Sadly, this was my last WI state convention. Rhonda said I'm getting too old for these one day turnarounds. I will have traveled around 4,000 miles these past two weeks.

And I missed it!

I know some folks will miss the Skeeter Pee - lol.

After hearing this I sure wish I would've spent more time conversing with you. Was the highlight of my day. You should have a private jet fly you around with all the revenue generated by "Backbreaker". Lol The WTA can be proud of its volunteers who put this on every year.

Iowa had their convention this weekend too. You're right Gerald, the cooler temps were terrific. How were sales compared to recent years? Up, I hope.

Sales were up. All the vendors I talked with said they did very well.

Attended Saturday with my son. Great time watched the beaver demo which was very good. Had a list of three things I needed and came home with two things I didn’t know I needed. Very well run convention, the volunteers did a great job. Even had time to talk to the boss man about his truck and pick up a jar of Backbreaker.

Sad to hear it’s your last Paul never got to meet you there I couldn’t make it this year still bear hunting glad it was a good convention

It's been a minute since I've been to a WTA convention.

I need to get back.

Good to see you there, Gerald!

I wasn't there as long as I have at past conventions kinda up and back deal. I think I talked to most of the people I wanted to. Was a few I would have liked to meet and visit with did catch up with or weren't there. Was sure different to be in line for the Tman feed and see it from the other side of the table.
Alex did a great job getting it all done.
Was nice to see Patrice and Zim and of course see Boss Dobbins.

"Never Forget Which Way Is Up!"

The WTA volunteers did an awesome job as always. I was only able to attend Friday but got to catch up with some friends and make a couple of new ones. Had a great visit with Bossman and of course I partook of some Skeeter pee. Will miss seeing you if only once every couple years. Great job all.

That's great!
