Couple of fishing show and other pics

[Joey]

Roy drove down from Quebec yesterday for the fishing show and arrived at our place about 7:30 p.m. last night. Great to see him again. We invited Monique and TJ over aswell for some horses ovaries and a gab fest that went late into the night.

 

Great laughs all around and we even managed to watch a bit of the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

 

 

 

 

 

Headed down to the show this morning and ran into a gaggle of OFNCr's. Took as many pics as I could.

Great pics. Wish I could have been there but I was to busy catching nothing at the tournament in Barrie.

[danbouck]

Good seeing you guys! It was nice to share some laughs and be away from the kiddies for a day.

[corvette1]

great to meet other people from the site it was a good show every thing went great except for the 115 minute wait at the mandarin

[Handlebarz]

Looks like a great time wish I was able to be there but we have a booth here in Chatham I think I just need to get a little closer to the Big smoke to make the GTG's

[xeon]

Good choice on the Jailbird Believer.

[Roy]

Thanks for the pics Hon. I might have one or two to add tonight when I get home.

[HTHM]

It was great to meet and re-meet everyone there. Dave gave a great presentation as always, and I finially have a GPS for the new boat.

Hirk was there dispensing advice and knowledge, heck, everyone was free with thier expertise. That is one of the defining things about this board.

Thanks again everyone for a very nice time.

I was there... but not really "socializing" hahaha... You can see my buddy's black hat in-between Pete Maina and the lady to the right of him. I was next to my buddy (Behind Pete Maina in the picture) *8th Picture*

 

I had no idea there was a G2G that day!

 

I was there... but not really.... Enjoyed seeing people that I recognized from the forum.

[TJQ]

Great Pictures!!! My report shortly.

He drove 2 hours to look at TJ?

[Spiel]

There's something missing in all those pictures. Oh wait, I know, it's me....."DANG!"

 

Wish I could have been there, looks like I missed a great time.

 

But honestly $9.00 beers, that's criminal!

WHAT??????????????????????????....ya mean to tell me tht Roy was walking around with 2 beers in his hand valued at $20 .....

 

If that's what the show is charging visitors after they have already paid for parking, entry fee, then somone is doing some serious gouging ....UNREAL!!!

[TJQ]

First off no charge for parking, and its the international center that sells the booze not the show. But I tell ya at the end of the day.... $9 wasn't so bad... lol

[LeXXington]

It was great to see everyone, Wish I could have stopped and chatted more.

 

My little guy max was scared of TJ (just kidding). He was impossible to keep away from the toys.

 

Got to love fishing show's

[Squid]

It was very nice to see the old gang and new faces mixed in. Thanks for the pics Joey!!

[Harrison]

BTW my son loves his new shirt, thanks Phil and Maureen

 

That's awesome Dan!!!! Thanks for your support.

 

And thank you to all the other OFNers for their support and comments throughout the show!!!!
