Super User Sam Posted December 22, 2012 Super User Posted December 22, 2012 January 25th through the 27th. Want to set up a Meet and Greet at the event for Friday or Saturday? http://www.ncboatshows.com/show.php/eventId/3 Quote
Hanover_Yakker Posted December 22, 2012 Posted December 22, 2012 I'll be there all three days - stop by and see me. I'll be at the Appomattox River Company booth in the back and will be onsite with my Hobie Revolution 13 fully rigged. I'd love to chat with some of you and put a face to the BR avatar Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted December 22, 2012 Super User Posted December 22, 2012 If anyone is interested in the invention that Robbie Patterson has to greatly lessen the effort to stow and deploy a bow Motor Guide, he will be there with some of those to sell and he will install it for you if you bring in your mount. I got that kit for my motor and it is a must have for us old folks. It is not an advertized product. He is Propeller Dynamics at Sanderson's in Chester. 1 Quote
Zoff Posted December 23, 2012 Posted December 23, 2012 OK... Sam... set up some days and time when you want to get us together. Saturday, IMO, would be the best day. What time? Quote
Super User Sam Posted December 27, 2012 Author Super User Posted December 27, 2012 If possible, lets try to get everyone together for a photo with Ish Monroe. John Crews will be there, too, and we can get to him for a Kodak moment. We will have to check the seminar schedule for Saturday to pull this off. Quote
Aluma-Bass Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 I should be there either Fri or Sat. Quote
Zoff Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 I can be there on Saturday. Plan on driving up Sat morning.... hitting Bass Pro and redeem a mess of gift cards. Then... over to the expo to... well... spend some more money and see the sights. SAM... you name the time and I'll see you there. Quote
Super User Sam Posted December 28, 2012 Author Super User Posted December 28, 2012 I can be there on Saturday. Plan on driving up Sat morning.... hitting Bass Pro and redeem a mess of gift cards. Then... over to the expo to... well... spend some more money and see the sights. SAM... you name the time and I'll see you there. Don't forget to stop by Green Top in the old Gander Mountain location, exit 86 off I-95. http://www.greentophuntfish.com/ When you are heading north on I-95 it is the Atlee-Elmont exit. Head towards Elmont. If you are coming I-81 to I-64 to I-295 to I-95 the Atlee-Elmont exit is the first one after you get on I-95 north. To avoid the I-95 traffic you may want to exit onto Route 1 off I-295 heading to Ashland and then drive slow on Route 1 to the next I-95 right hand turn traffic light by Sonic (2+/- miles) and then another right at the first traffic light. Easier way to go to avoid I-95 traffic but it takes about 5 extra minutes. When you leave Green Top cross over the road you took to get into the Green Top shopping center and you can go straight on that road through the traffic signal and you can follow that road to Bass Pro Shop. If you have time there is a little pond on your left along the way and you can stop and do some fishing. You can't miss the Green Top sign to your left as you are heading north on I-95. So if you want to hit BPS first you can then go down to exit 86 and make it to Green Top on your way home. Green Top will have a big section at the Expo so ask for Steve, Stan and the other guys who bass fish and they will be happy to talk with you and show you their products. Watch your speed on I-295 as you get closer to I-95. The state troopers call this area the fishing hole as they can give as many speeding tickets they wish any day of the week in this area. Looking forward to seeing you and the Meet & Greet gang again. You guys are the best!!!! Quote
Zoff Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Thanks for the info, I am an old Richmond guy anyway. Started my Virginia life there in 1967. Have many family in and around the city and end up there at least once a year. In fact... I was last up there and hit Gander Mt. for the big sellout before Greentop moved in. That was like... what? Last year? Been there twice since then. Haven't been to Greentop yet but just may have to. Trying to get Nitrofreak to go as well. I might bring a buddy with me as he is a basser as well. Quote
Bigbarge50 Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Will be there again this year and would love to meet up. Can make friday or sunday Quote
Super User Sam Posted January 3, 2013 Author Super User Posted January 3, 2013 Zoff, the more the merrier. If you do head this way try to add Castaways to your list of places to visit. Castaways is in Chester. Let me know what day(s) you will be in town. Quote
Hanover_Yakker Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 A popular spot to meet for the early risers (ie: exhibitors that have to be there an hour early) is the Dennys next to Kings Dominion (its in the hotel next to KD). I saw several expo folks there the last two years prior to the show each day. Quote
Zoff Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 OK... I will absolutely be there Saturday. I will arrive about 8:00 or 8;30 AM. Got to meet up with a friend and will have two others with me. Somebody name a place and time and we're there. Quote
Zoff Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Some links to the Expo... https://www.facebook.com/richmond.expo and http://www.ncboatshows.com/show.php/eventId/3 Who's going? Anybody wanna meet there or somewhere? Quote
