Let us know what booth and what he is selling .


My friend & I are going sunday am. I want to chat with a Sask fishing lodge. Seem's silly to throw away stupid $$$ for parking and walk around 3 pavilions of boats I will never be in. Its like a moth to a bright light, I know I shouldn't waste the cash but keep going anyways. Where else you going to get a bunch of vendors in one spot.

Maybe silly question. Does anyone know of any free tickets or discounts with a WIN card like years prior? Thanks for any help.

[schreyer]

I remember years prior when I showed the desk girl my WIN card I received a discount.

$16 for parking and $16 to get in is what KGB just text me on pricing .

I got no more money to spend, gotta safe up for cash deals only.

I don’t think they will have a 1970’s 9.9 on the back of a 12 foot tinnier for 500 bucks

I just can't be bothered to make the trip, then pay the ridiculous parking fees, on top of the high entrance fee and fuel cost.

You can buy one of those electric bikes that are selling at the show, ride that puppy and don’t worry about fuel, parking etc…..

I worked the past couple days of the show and I would say that it is a better show than last year, so hoping it keeps getting better. No more tow boats at the show (except a couple), so the boats you see are pretty well all fishing and pontoon boats.

And the Win card still saves you a couple bucks. Not much you can do about parking, but on the extreme south end there are sometimes some free spots outside the main parking lots. They fill up fast though and you need to walk some distance.

If you do come, stop by the Princecraft boats and say hi to myself and my son. I always love chatting with folks. Thanks to those that have stopped in already.

I think it’s GPS central has a very good deal on Garmin xero Chronographs.

Ended up going with family tonight. While still a far cry from the huge shows in the past, there was plenty to keep me entertained.

This year there were more of the small and off-road camper units on display, which was great. Was good to see some of the overlanding stuff in person.

I wish there were more budget-friendly fishing boat setups there. But definitely some nice stuff to look at.

I was hoping to check out some of the Honda SXS's, as Incredigirl and I were hoping to do a bit more trail riding this year. Just something basic, like a 500 or a 700. Nothing caught my eye.

Bought garlic sausage at Kastelin (buffalo, of course!) got a new bugling tube and reeds at Wapiti River, chatted with the great guys at the APA booth, and picked up a new rangefinder at Prophet River. Bought a raft of raffle tickets, always great to support the local clubs and charities. Took a turn at the pellet rifle booth (we have a deal that the lowest score buys supper).

Could have spent more time and money there, but had enough for one evening. We enjoyed ourselves.

Just got back from the show.
It was better than last year's for sure.
The $250k + stuff is gone, replaced by stuff someone might actually buy.
Nice to see boats have come down a bit.
Bumped into a bunch of people, ate some food, had a good time.
Also nice to see more local hunting related booths there. I think even the great dually-meister himself was there.
Only item I bought was a speck call from Slayer, but there were several other deals that I walked by.
Definitely getting better.
