Avery is sponsersing the Can-am international goose and duck competition this year in Windsor, Ontario. Are you guys bringing decoys with yah? If not i would really consider it. They would sell like hot cakes down here for the simple fact that no one in Canada sells them and for us to buy them from an american website we get soo sipped off in shipping and brokerage fees through customs that by the time they make it down to our house they are over$100us more then the sticker price. Basically we get the short end of the stick when it comes to Canada full body goose decoys. I know i would defintly grab a few dozen full bodies and know quite a few others that would too. The show drew at least a few thousand hunters last year and is bound to draw more. Id bet you'd sell 20 doz. with your eyes closed.

Lemme know.

Lorne,
I don't see us being able to do anything this year. That deal is only three weeks away. It takes decoys five weeks to get here from our manufacturing facility. I do feel this is something we need to look at for 2005. Are there any retailers up there that would go to the event and sell our products for us? Ideally, we would like to direct ship a container of decoys and blinds directly to that dealer to minimize the duties. Let me know if there are any dealers in the area I can contact about this.
