hey see avery has a booth this year at the show just curius as to what they will have.

[njhonker]

yes...and who will be working the booth

[Paul Cupka]

Guys,
Look for an official "press release" on this from Rob Jepson or Wayne Radcliff. All I can tell you is that we are very excited about this event and there are going to be some great deals. As far as who will be there- pretty much all of us from the right coast will be there as some point and time during the week long show. I look forward to meeting some of you guys that make it there. This is a big show for the Mid Atlantic area.

[goosehunter26]

so what kind of great deals are we talking about at the show.

[Rick Frisch]

I don't know that anything is set in stone. We found some items during inventory last week that we really need to sell. I don't think anybody will disappointed with the Avery/GHG booth at the event.

Thanks,

[Rob Jepson]

Avery will be exhibiting in the East Hall Booths #s 1582-1584. I believe we are along the right side as you enter the hall from the Main Hall. Don't want to tip our hand too much but we will have our core products (Ground Blinds, Hunting Bags, Guncases, etc.) as well as representation from all of our categories: Turkey Hunting, Dog Training Gear, Marine Accessories, Decoy Accessories, etc.

Avery Pro-Staffers that will be in attendance on one or over several of the show's dates are: Rusty Hallock, Wayne Radcliffe, Jason Connellee, Mark Hoke, Paul Cupka, Dave Weidner, John Beckwith, Derek Rambo, Mike Bard, and myself.

[RAY_PA]

[Rob Jepson]

Still haven't nailed down the final list of what we are bringing. Because of space limitations we will not be able to offer a full selection of decoys but we plan on offering a show special on the Hunter Series Full Body. I will try to make a post when the plan is finalized.

[Paul Cupka]

Guys,
For those of you that have never been to this show-GO. It is like no other on the East Coast IMO. Make sure you take a whole day, and wear comfortable shoes!! Look forward to meeting with all of you that attend.

[T.J. Owens]

I'll see some of you Pro-Staffers on Sunday and Wednesday(calling contest). It's always good to put a face with a name. And Rusty H. I hope I get a chance to talk to you about calling. See you guys soon, T.J.

[Rusty Hallock]

T.J.,



I will be at the show Mon - Wed. I look forward to meeting everyone.

[Chris Holleger]

is there a map where we can see where evrything is gonna be like the avery booth?

[Paul Cupka]

Yep, just grab the show guide as you enter, it has a map of all the booths and their locations. I believe we will be in the waterfowl room, which is just off the main hall. I am not sure of the actual name of that hall. You shouldn't have any problem finding it, just listen for all of the calling and you'll find us in that room.

[T.J. Owens]

Avery, You guys didn't hold back. Very nice looking display and selection of Avery/GHG on hand. It was nice to meet some of you guys in person. Best of luck, T.J.

[Andrew O'Neill]

I'll be going Wednesday for the calling contest and Thursday to look around. Will there be any OS Goose Floaters and shells for sale, I heard there was going to be a clearance thing, so I had to ask

Thanks,
Andrew

[Rob Jepson]

TJ,

As always, thanks for stopping by and saying Hello. It was a good first day and I have attached a couple pic of the booth and the guys.

[Chris Holleger]

A couple more days and ill be heading up there. Nothing like having a friday off from school to go to a sports show.

[Mike Hungle]

I just spoke with Rob Jepson. He was on the show room floor with a show goer who had a question regarding Canada. I asked Rob how the show was and he told me that it's absolutely incredible. Based on what he said and the way he described it, if you're anywhere in the close proximity of this event, you should try to take it in.

[varina]

That show is awsome. It took me over 8 hours to walk through this past weekend.

Folks, Avery had got some great deals. If you get a chance, GO TO THIS SHOW!!

[iluvfish2]

OH man...sounds like I need to find something like this in Michigan! The hunting expo's we have here are ok, but since I'm not talking to every outfitter/guide in the expo, I'm normally done in 2-3 hours.

[Rob Jepson]

Guys,

Today was a busy day at the show as the calling contests were held this afternoon and ran into the evening. It brought a lot of waterfowlers into the Farm Complex and they kept us hopping. Here are a few pics from today:

[Wayne Radcliffe]

We will be there until Sunday evening.

[Will DeBlois]

Wayne,

[Cody Frazier]

What is the show price on the 6-slot Canada bags?
How about the 6-slot snow bags?

Thanks.

[JEDJR]

By the pic's, Looks like the Finisher continues to be a hot item..

[Rusty Hallock]

Cody,




We do not have any of the 6-Slot Full Body Bags for sale. The price of the Snow/Lesser 6-Slot Bagss is $40.00 each.

[Rusty Hallock]

Jed,



The Finishers are selling good, but not nearly as the Power Hunters. There are great show specials on all three layout blinds.

[Cody Frazier]

Rusty, thanks for the quick reply.
I may have my buddy pick up a snow bag or two.

[goosehunter26]

[Tom Marvel]

Just got home from 3 days at the show. An incredible amount of people passed by our booth during that time, and the majority stopped by to either browse or buy. It was great seeing everyone who worked the booth, and thanks to Avery for making some fantastic products. It's a pleasure to be affiliated! Tom

[Rob Jepson]

Got home last night after a week and a half in Harrisburg working the Eastern Outdoors and Sportsman's Show and spent the day decompressing and tying up loose ends.

Wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone who stopped by our booth. We enjoyed meeting you all and wanted to thank you all not just for your purchases, but for your kind words about our products, and for introducing yourselves and sharing your stories from the field.

On behalf of Avery/Greenhead Gear and all the Pro-Staff thanks again for all your support.

[mdgoosekiller]
