WNY Sport & Travel Booth Update

[Scott McKee]

Of course you've heard the expression "the squeaky wheel get the grease", well  sometimes the gently complaining musky anglers get a better booth.  Carrie, Capt. Larry and I made our displeasure known to the nice ladies at Erie Promotions (the shows organizers), and low and behold we were moved from the recesses of the third building (affectionately known as the "armpit") to the main building at the WNY Sport and Travel Expo.  Unfortunately we were informed of the move just as we had finished unloading everything into the "armpit".  We figured this was a great dry run, so packed everything up and headed to our new digs.

We are located in the (I'm not sure of the direction) corner to the left of the main entrance, next to the entrance to the Casino and conveniently by the ladies restroom.  Look for the huge elevated flat-screen.

Wait until you see our booth!  It looks better than ever thanks to Carrie, your musky pictures, and our amazing musky mount slash coffin.  Mark Wozniak, I am so impressed with your creation.  It is perfect.  Thank you again!  We have a neat little hang-out area with easy access to the booth for our larger members (read: me).  We have bar stools this year, thanks to Jiggin' Joe, which will make speaking eye to eye with prospective members a lot easier.  (Since the stools are much higher than our normal folding chairs, please try to avoid falling off of them when you hear about your first 90-inch musky caught in a puddle somewhere in Sloan on a moldy candy bar, or the 8-footers that live under "my neighbor's" dock on Grand Island and feed on the local dogs and cats.)

Joe was also kind enough to transport the coffin to the show.  Is there any club project this guy doesn't volunteer for?  Captain Larry and former member Al Wilke helped out with the set-up of the booth as well.  Thanks guys.

I haven't even told you about the best part of our new location: WE ARE LOCATED NEAR THE SAUSAGE GUY!  Hello sodium-laden, spicy meat treats that can't be beat!

If you go to the show, stop by and say, "opossum", or "Hi".  If you're not volunteering for the show, make sure you whisper, "the dolphins are in the jacuzzi", to the ticket salesperson.  I doubt this will result in a discount, but I'll think it's really funny.

Thanks again Carrie, Joe, Larry, Mark and Al.
