Default Could this be Frank's Fault??

There is no Fly Fishing Show in College Park, Maryland this January!!!
I don't know how many years they have been holding them but they were
great. January is when you're getting cabin fever and what better way
to spend an afternoon- hanging around fishing stuff, buying tying
material and attending seminars?

I have heard that there is no show because "attendees were just not
buying as much as the vendors expected". I think the vendors heard
that "Frank has left the area" and figured, "why bother".

What do you think Frank?

That's pretty shortsighted, if that's the case. People go to the show to see
what's new and collect information, not just to buy.

I think the vendors heard
that "Frank has left the area" and figured, "why bother".


Regardless, I think Frank should be blamed.

No, according to this site http://www.flyfishingshow.com/ the Maryland
show is "on hold." Then again, the Denver show is going great guns.
Maybe you should try that one. We in "the biz" call it "follow the
money."
