No, I have not gone to it in years. I just lost interest in the whole thing.
I have not even seen one promotion for the show on TV this year. I just
found out about it last week when I stopped in to Dave's Bait and Tackle
here in town. I was looking for a new rod. He had them ALL packed up for the
show.

I have done some Computer shows at McCormick Place years ago. The Unions are
really tough. You had to have a union electrician come and plug in your
stuff. We lost a lot of items overnight to pilferage also. Stopped going
when the floor space, Union help, and thefts cost over 1000.00 per day.

Did you go to Chicagoland Sportsfishing & Outdoorshow in Rosemont? In
my
opinion the show has declined measurably in the last several years. Once
years ago when I was friends with the folks at Bedford Sales some staff
shared with me some pretty significant theft problems at the shows . . .
after the doors closed. So a lot of vendors quit coming. Looked more to
me
last nite (at least in the fishing area) like a flea market (and not many
bargins at that) than a show. What did you think. Any of your buddies go-
how about them?
