My daughter and grandson took me to the NTA convention yesterday. They don't get up as earl as I do, lol. Consequently it was a little after 11 AM when we got there. I thought they had a pretty good turnout, and by 11 it was already too hot for me, especially with my health woes. I like the tailgate area when I go to a convention so I tried to cover that first. I was disappointed I didn't find much paper and the tailgate section along with the 5 buildings were really spread out. By 1:00 PM I was exhausted. My daughter and grandson were impressed by how many people I knew and it was great to chat with them. After I was exhausted, I found out I could have rented a golf cart, lol. Regardless how one feels about the NTA it was great to spend the day seeing some trapping friends I haven't seen for a few years.

Thanks for the report. I would have enjoyed seeing it .

Very nice.Sounds like a great day.

Glad to hear you had a good time, Nittany.

Never made it this year.
I kinda liked how it was all spread out last year. Being there for all 3 days, I’d usually find something new when walking around for the 6th or 7th time…lol

Yesterday wasn't too bad, but Thursday was right warm!

Glad you got to go and visit with friends!

And I enjoyed seeing Jerry clean skin a beaversicle, lol

Glad you had a good time nitty and sorry our humid Alabama weather made it up there, glad you survived, lol.

Me too!

Jim, glad you made it out.

Hope to run into you again some day

Yep, seeing friends is what it's all about! Going to the FTA this week fo just that reason!!

Happy to see you attended, Jim. I was there Wednesday - Saturday. Sorry I missed you.
Great show!
Congratulations to the Virginia Trappers for hosting and doing a great job!!

Enjoyed seeing this sign at a gate-

Did you find any TRAPS magazines?

He was disappointed with the site of the beaver.
Half of it was frozen almost solid so it made the demo not as good as he'd hoped.

It was much more difficult to skin.
